Once I was with my mom and something happened, I don’t remember what, and I just sighed and said ‘I miss Arthropleura.’ And my mom was like ‘what do you mean???’

Taco night

(alt: Video render of Isoxys minor, Middle cambrian bivalved arthropods shown here in orange with a dark aquarium background

Isoxys has a taco shaped carapace enveloping it's entire body like a copepod, the open part of the 'taco' pointing down, its segmented body is completely hidden inside the 'taco' with tiny swimming legs reminiscent of those found in Triops, barely visible poking out of it. and two front appendages that look somewhat like an anomalocaris' claws but pointing up although they are not closely related to anomalocaris. It also has two eyes visible on the front, poking out of the carapace

Tl;Dr a swimming taco with segmented 'tusks' on the front and shrimp like legs poking out the bottom.

The video depicts them flitting around the aquarium from a close-up view with a short focus distance since they are typically only 1 cm long)

text from porter robinson's "goodbye to a world"

every single animal in this comic is extinct. it's not too late for the ones that are left.

edit: thanks @mudcrabmassacre for the correction, smilodon fatalis did not in fact go extinct in 1023 AD. the actual prediction is around 10,000 years ago - I think i may have missed a zero or two.

96 Million Years Ago.

A place that will eventually be called Argentina, but is currently nameless. A swamp, filled with towering trees and dense underbrush.

A colossal matriarch pauses, her snout to the air. She has been tracking the rotting scent of some dying animal for a few hours now. Her pack is not far behind her, their grumbles and groans letting her know of their location.

A chirp breaks through the incessant noise of insects and pterosaurs, and the goliath pauses, turning her head to look down. A downy chick, from her latest clutch, emerges from the undergrowth, crying out to her and mimicking her movements.

This makes her pause, for just a moment, before she returns to tracking. Her footfalls are a bit more careful, as her offspring travels alongside her, and they vanish into the swamp, on the trail of some fading titan, followed by others that will eventually become known as Giganotosaurus.
