#titanoptera

The sun rises over Dimetrodon as it travels across the landscape of the Middle Permian, spotting Diplocaulus, Titanoptera, a speculative proto-archosauromorph, and Prionosuchus along the way.

The piece 'Morning, when time had no end' was very kindly composed for this animation by the immensely talented Villi-refurinn. Check them out on Bandcamp for more fantastic music!

Ancient Arthropods Crowdfunder is LIVE!

This has been a project months in the making, with a lot of research done, science papers read, bunch of sketches prepared, lots of head scratching on how to make things works- and how to reward, you, properly for the help to make these real.

Ancient Arthropods is a crowdfunding campaign for enamel pins featuring insects from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras. Each main design comes from a specific period within the two eras, and there is a total of 10 large pins to unlock, and 5 mini ones. Along with one very big stretch goal that I would adore to unlock...

There is also special rewards for backers in the first 48 hours, as well as an early backer discount and reward for returning backers (if you remember my 7 Sinful Bugs campaign!)

Available wordlwide! Including those in the EU and UK (hi, I'm from Ireland ;D)

Clatrotitan is an extinct genus of titanopteran insect, known from the Triassic of Australia. It is originally described from a species, Clatrotitan andersoni.

Known as King Israel's Mantidbug by the Conservationist Hunters of Indigenous Australians, but isn't real mantidfly, but a titanopteran in Triassic period enter either Late Cretaceous or Holocene epoch, the present day.

Physiology

Clatrotitan andersoni had a large forewing, which was 13.8 centimetres (5.4 in) long, with spiny points on elbows in three pairs of legs, long antennas, and ten segmented abdomen. Their wings have brownish black vertical lines on four wings, one was larger and one was small.
