Ancient plant-eater with a twisted jaw was a 'living fossil' in its own time https://phys.org/news/2026-03-ancient-eater-jaw-sideways-teeth.html

"the lower jaw was twisted, so that the teeth pointed out to the sides. The part of its jawbone that, in humans, faces the tongue, in Tanyka is facing up towards the roof of its mouth. This surface is covered in smaller teeth forming a grinding surface like a cheese grater"

Globe-trotting ancient sea-salamander fossils rediscovered from Australia's dawn of the Age of Dinosaurs https://phys.org/news/2026-02-globe-ancient-sea-salamander-fossils.html paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2025.2601224

"The end-#Permian mass #extinction prompted the emergence of modern marine ecosystems... this involved the earliest appearances of sea-going #amphibians and #reptiles... A new study of 250 million-year-old fossils from the Kimberly region has uncovered a surprisingly diverse marine amphibian community with worldwide trans-oceanic links."

El Endothiodon bathystoma fue un dicinodonto del Pérmico tardío (259-254 MdA) que, en lugar de sus característicos colmillos, tenía una fila de dientes que podía reemplazar. Tenía un cuerpo robusto, con 1,5 metros de longitud. 📷Dmitry Bogdanov #permico #permian

It's such a shame that it will be 251 million years before this gorgonopsid can try to fit through a narrow doorway and not realize the bone can't go with them (bonk)
