actinopterygii, mammalia, sarcopterygii!

actinopterygii: how structured do you like your day to be?

im like, obnoxiously flexible, but i enjoy a bit of structure but not too much? i am fine with structure and i have my night routine but aside from that, as long as i have a slight idea of what im supposed to be doing im cool without much.

mammalia: are your hands usually cold or warm?

absolutely frigid, its the shitty circulation babeee. i don't feel cold tho! simply aware that my hands are ice lol

sarcopterygii: what’s your favorite prehistoric creature?

i am going to apologize in advance for not being able to be normal abt this question: i have So Many and its more of a "fav taxa from this group/particular time period" than absolute favs. that said, i will always have the biggest of soft spots for true saber tooth cats and nimravids, xenosmilus is probably my favorite. i love phenacodus and diacodexus so much too, they are easily my fav willwood fauna (diacodexus teeth are SO pretty and satisfying to find ;-; and i simply love a bizarre maybe-ungulate that refuses to fit in our unecessary taxonomic boxes). love an entelodont as well. and mesonychids!! nothing more terrifying than a carnivorous ungulate.

ALSO i do have a fav trace fossil, scaphichnium (dung beetle brood cells), little multicolored jelly beans my beloved
