(He/him) I like Animals, especially prehistoric ones. My favorite Animal is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp. #1 Aquilonifer fan. I pretty much just post my art.

Carimersa neptuni, hunting a Platyceratid. Fossil gastropods have been found with the Carimersa fossil, suggesting they may have hunted them. #paleoart #sciart #art

A digital painting of a Carimersa neptuni hunting a Platyceratid

A diagrammatic reconstruction of Carimersa neptuni from dorsal (with the right first appendage removed), left lateral, and ventral views.

The body is about 30 mm long.

Also shown:
Left eye, ventral view.
Right 2nd appendage, ventral and right lateral views.
Left 3rd appendage, ventral and left lateral views.
Left 4th appendage, left lateral and anterior views.
Hypostome/labrum complex.

Text on the 4th appendage:
“The trunk appendages are similar in morphology but with proportionally larger exopods and exites.”
“9 pairs of filaments on the exite.”

Been a while since I did one of these. Tanazios dokeron, a very cool arthropod from the Silurian with a lot of segments (at least 64). #paleoart #sciart #art

A diagrammatic reconstruction of Tanazios dokeron from dorsal view, ventral view, ventral view with appendages removed, and left lateral view.

The ventral side of the head has a pair of antennules, antennae, and mandibles.

The ventral side of the trunk has a food groove.

Shows the 17th right trunk appendage from anterior and right lateral views. The medial edge of the appendage has an enditic membrane.

Text:
“Right trunk appendage 17, anterior and right lateral views.
All trunk appendages and head appendages 4
and 5 share similar morphologies, but have varying sizes based on their position on the body.
There are an estimated 64 trunk segments, all of which except possibly the last 4 have appendages.”
