My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

A few zooms into my painting of Haootia (Stauroza), commissioned by McIlroy et al for their 2022 paper. The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland (Late Ediacaran, 550Ma), Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and some Parviscopa.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2022 I worked with McIlroy et al on a new description of Haootia (Stauroza), from the Late Ediacaran (550 Ma). The Haootia fossils from Newfoundland, Canada, have the oldest known evidence for animal muscle tissue. Also in this picture is a reclining Charnia and Parviscopa.

WELCOME TO EDIACARAN MISTAKEN POINT (565Ma).

If you thought this environment was like a miniature forest of sea pens, think again. The palaeontologists at MUNPaleobiology are redescribing these wonderful creatures and some, such as Charnia, are now reclining!
