I'm probably very late but your pictures are amazing. Especially this one. I love it so much.Β

Can we purchase prints of your works anywhere?
Amazing depiction, by the way!

I like it how you managed to make it all look so alien while it being a dramatic scene already. The Homoioptera (right? I'm not so familiar with extinct bugs) their size gets nicely shown here. They're like birds, odd birds, and catch the eye. The Carboniferous really was a weird place.

That's amazing, just downright amazing .... I love the look of it, looks so painterly and really cool ;D

Very cool, it has an impending doom apocalyptic sort of feel.

Well these swamps from the Carboniferous period over millions of years turned into coal when they fossilized, which is why they are referred to as "Carboniferous Coal Swamps"

but wheres the coal

In that picture, there is none, but what you see in the pictures will be coal millions of years later

It fossilized, like bones do, but instead of rock the massive amounts of plant life became coal

but fosssils becom oil not coal

Well these fossils became coal, Wikipedia can probably explain it better than me

Look it up in Wikipedia or something, I'm Not sure how to explain it XD

coal. dead plants, pressure for eons

oil. sea organisms/planktons, etc, pressure for eons

and no, oil doesn't come from dead dinosaurs

say this to him.
animals become oil.
plants become coal!

Very nice!
Are those paleodictyopterans I see?
Also, is that little eurypterid a Megarachne?
π: 0 β©: 1
why yes, glad you noticed the megarachne : ) i feel it and many eurypterids are not as popular as arthropleura and meganeuras when one thinks of the carboniferous

best prehistoric period ever ! long life to Arthropods !!!

I like that title, its accurate at least lol

You made my favorite Carboniferous invertebrate: Arthroplura.
also is this Mississippian or Pennsylvanian?
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess since this is supposed to depict the Carboniferous collapse it would be the Pennsylvanian
The walking with monsters documentary seem to imply that because of the high oxygen content eventually a lot of forest fires happened by the end of the Carboniferous, but I've heard other sources say the high oxygen content cooled down the planet instead and that's what led to the decline

Some big bois running from danger fire. Yes.

Arthropleura, the Carboniferous treehugger
(I know itβs not actually a tree)

"Millipede, uh, finds a way."

Its a centipede dumb dumb.

From what I read even though no fossil of the head has been found a lot of paleontologist agree that arthropleura was a millipede, they found bits of fern spores in some of the remains but it's still debatable if it was inside it or on top of it.

from what I've heard, it's not even a millipede, but closely related.

It was a millipede, though...
π: 0 β©: 1
really? I've been hearing that it wasn't but was related.
