#lepidodendron

Hi, call me by my handle or just Anthro for short (or just fucking ignore me that works too.) I don't care for how I'm referred to, so any pronouns are fine.

I draw, and that's about it. I literally don't do anything else with my life. I would share my OC lore, but I know damn well no one gives a snickerdoodle. 😭

Eventually if I get confident enough, I'll share some of my OC lore. (Or just if someone asks.) I'm literally traumatized from ragebaiters on tiktok, so I'm terrified.

"Ressuscités de nos jours, ces arbres géants feraient ene etrange figure (Lepidodendron de 30m et Sigillaire de 40m)" ["Resurrected today, these giant trees would make a strange figure (Lepidodendron of 30m and Sigillaria of 40m)"] from Camille Flammarion's Le monde avant la création de l'homme (1886)

'The vegetation of England during the Coal Period'

Frontispiece from The Ancient World or, Picturesque sketches of Creation by D. T. Ansted (John Van Voorst, London, 1847)

"The Frontispiece is intended to give an idea of what may probably have been the aspect of Vegetation in England during the Coal period. The trees introduced are chiefly those living forms which seem most analogous to extinct species. In the centre is a tree fern, which was certainly a common and characteristic plant. On the left is represented an ideal restoration of a Lepidodendron; on the right in the distance are the tops of Araucarias, coniferous trees nearly allied to which have been found in the coal-measures. The remaining trees and plants are inhabitants of Norfolk Island or Eastern Australia, but seem to have had representatives in ancient times."

Collection of Lepidodendron tree fossils, river finds in Glasgow, all from over the past few years.
