Eocene

Didn't know this thing existed until I found it while trying to search for Ceratosuchops. Pretty cool being an alligator from Colorado and Wyoming. I might try to make a more detailed sketch of this genus later on.

Enjoy these extremely well preserved remains of the front half of a eocene yantarogekko balticus that was trapped in amber while you still can

Are creatures from the paleozoic era and cenozoic era alowed here

Longinorhiza dorudentis (spear-toothed long root) is a large species of basilosaurid dorudontine found in North America, The Sahara, Europe and New Zealand. Longinorhiza is close to Dorudon and this taxon consists of 2 species (L. dorudentis and L. maculatus, based off of fossilized skin found nearby L. maculatus fossils). The teeth jutted out and the premolars were sharp, while the molars were double-cusped. This dentition is efficient for slicing down on flesh, so it was presumably a scavenger/hunter. Unlike its relative, Dorudon, the head was remarkably long, specimens like AMNH 11120 A and FHMNH 2203 C have up to 5 feet long heads. The maximum size for this taxon is around 30 feet (for L. maculatus) or 10 metres, and 40 feet (for L. dorudentis) or 13 metres. The holotype was a juvenile, around 10 feet in length. The medium sized whale was a probable competitor for food for Basilosaurus and a specimen uncovered from 2021 (FLMNH 9903) had Longinorhiza dorudentis teeth embedded in the skull.

Ok so inside the statue of liberty an anomaly has opened in the early eocene resulting in a float of ambulocetus getting inside. Currently they are trying to get out. However unfortunately a group of tourists didnt get the evacuation and are stuck inside with them. Also worth noting they have reported a woman searching for something in the statue not at all bothered by the ambulocetus.
