So I'm currently working on Darren Naish's idea the Squamozoic. I'm currently working on it with someone else (known as Metalraptor). We had originally created...
Because of problems of hosting I moved my site to another server. Now the address of English page is http://www.sivatherium.narod.ru/englver.htm And check for...
... I do apologise for the inactivity of this group. I've been busy most nights corresponding with my partner, who lives in the USA. Other than that, I have...
This time, I would like to discuss the limits of dicynodont diversity. Given that, by the Mesozoic, all dicynodonts were large herbivores, I guess the only...
... First of all, diggers up to blind mole-like forms. Possible ecological niches - herbivores and omnivores. Then, the variety of land herbivores of heavy...
... So, theorically, if isolated in a landmass without any other predators, they could perhaps evolve predatory forms? Perhaps a thing in the style of saber...
... No. Two lines of therapsids, gorgonopsids => cynodonts and deinocephala => dicynodonts had been widely spreaded in Permian. I don't see any real landmass...
... Well, I was speculating about an alternate timeline where dicynodonts somehow survived and managed to diversify and I simply asked on whereas it would be...
I also may imagine subpolar dicynodonts covered with rich fur and storing fat in short tails and back humps. There may be also hibernators among them making...
I'm quite interested to know if Eucalyptus will become predominant in Europe after we disappear; at least in Portugal both this tree and pine trees seem to be...
... In my Neocene chapters (not translated into English) there are Araucaria species in Northern hemisphere - at Hawaii. Thins plant is introduced there and...
... I think the hair cover is one of early features of progressive therapsids. The structure of jaw bones indicates the presence of soft muscular lips at...
... I know what you mean. Of course, dicynodonts had beak. I mean soft lips are characteristic for related groups and are connected to the existing of other...
And the uniform isolating hair cover could be traced back when the "prototherapsids" lost cumbersome thermorregulators as dorsal sails? Before that, perhaps...
... And traces of such condition are kept even at us. Look at your own skin on hand, and you'll see the ordered arrangement of hairs on it with spaces between...
So, he next interesting group is Cacti. These plants are introduced to Old World, and in our Russian forum some interesting ideas are generated. For example,...
Hello! I just was reviewing some info about the extent of parrot species introduced on northern hemisfere, is posible on 30 millon of years both Eurasia an...
... Am I correct reading these lines? Did you make the project for Neocene world??? With your permission I may place this description to my project. But we...
Hi Pavel! Sorry for the bluntness, was an inspiration attack, naturally needs to be worked, if you likes the idea... Well, once calmed, i see certainly the...
This parrot is one of the 6 or so species evolved in Northamerica from the introduced Aratinga erythrogenys conure, this species now is most common on SA dry...
... Sooooooo... "Having said "A", say "B"", as Russian joke says... Yes, it's my habit - if you mention closely related species descending from the same...
So I was reading about the crocodilians of the Mesozoic and earlier part of the Cenozoic, and it was clear that they gave mammals a run for their money (well...
