And here the result of the Patrick Burn Formation #paleostream! This has been our first adventure into the Silurian, a short but important period for eurypterids and our own ancestors. The PB Formation from Scotland preserves a brackish fauna with such elements.
While the eurypterids clearly are the most spectacular animals here the most common are the phyllocarid crustaceans in the form of Ceratiocaris. However another organism from here is also very common and was thought to be a crustacean for a while as well…
But Dictyocaris, preserved in large, irregular flakes turned out to be most likely a plant, interpreted here similar to floating liverworts. As one of the larger and most common organisms one can imagine this being an important part of the ecosystem. In fact the jawless fish…
Jamoytius has been proposed to be feeding on photosyntetic sheets. With an anoxic bottom this made it easy to place the whole composition close the water surface but a few animals remain in Discord member Mudturtle’s size chart that didn’t make it in.

Detailed sketch of the metriacanthosaurid Alpkarakush kyrgyzicus from the Middle Jurassic of Kyrgyzstan. This theropod was described last year from the partial skeletons of two individuals, as well as isolated teeth and a fork. The dinosaur differs from its close relatives in the strong development of the postorbital protuberance, which is covered with a horny case or large scales during its lifetime. The approximate length of Alpkarakush is 7-8 meters. Histology of the long bones showed that the holotype was a sub-adult individual at least 17 years old. The second specimen was smaller and younger. The generic name of the predator comes from the name of the mythical bird from the Kyrgyz epic “Manas”. Alpkarakush shared Jurassic Central Asia with a diverse fauna, which included, among others, sauropods and stegosaurs, as well as late temnospondyls.

Paleo-Files: Shri rapax

Paleo-Files: Shri rapax
Shri rapax is a species of large, 2.2-meter-long velociraptorine dromaeosaur hailing from the Campanian-aged Djadochta formation of what is now Mongolia. Unlike its more famous contemporary relative Velociraptor, Shri rapax was quite unusual amongst velociraptorines had a shorter, stouter snout suggesting that it had a possibly stronger, larger bite force than the former as well as having a large sickle-shaped claw on the first digit of its hands, hence its species name meaning “rapacious” in Latin, and equally large sickle claws on its feet than other dromaeosaurids. These features all suggest that Shri rapax may have preyed upon larger prey animals, such as larger-sized individuals of ceratopsians such as Protoceratops and Udanoceratops and ankylosaurs such as Minotaurasaurus and Pinacosaurus, than other velociraptorines that preyed on slightly smaller individuals of these ornithischians as well as small mammals, and thus suggests that some form of niche partitioning was present between Shri rapax and the other dromaeosaurs of the Djadochta.
