Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

What would have happened if the end-Triassic extinction only cyodonta species have experienced too?
It is possible that sooner or later would have previously come to the age of mammals, or have come back therapsids domination of the planet ...
I wonder what new species would be created, the site of the dinosaurs? What do you think?

Would have survived the disaster:
turtles, crocodiles, lizards of all insects, amphibians.

Can do this project?

I didn´t quite understand what you said in your sentences, bit I think a world ruled by mammal-like reptiles would be very likely if the Permain Mass extinction never occured. During the Triassic it would already have been too late - apart from the first dinosaurs you´d have a lot of Crurotarsans competing with mammal-like reptiles.

But it would be interesting if the dominant reptiles would be extinct.turtles,crocodiles,reptiles with 4legs.And only the insects would have survived. It would be a very interesting world anyway as the cyodonts(kb) are warm-blooded animals opposed to other reptiles this way they could have lived a much active life.Maybe they could have evolved into predators living in troops they could have hunt for turtles with the size of a brontosaurus or
plant eating crocodiles and enormous reptiles

Try saying it in a more basic way if your english isn't that good. But I think I get your idea. Interesting!
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

Cyodonts wolf-sized, herbivorous turtles as they attacked the giant herd, and when felled by a younger copy of a much larger crocodile Postonochus like they get it wrong or your capture and persecute them to benefit from the meat. Meanwhile, at a distance watching the monitor lizards like scavengers cyodontákkal together.

Such alternative Jura.

Could you imagine what kind of species?

In several cases, that may be of any race cyodonták discussing the eggs, the live birth?

It doesnt seem very bad to me.
Projects and concepts that I have stewing around
Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients)
Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals.
Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day.
Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent.
Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold.
The Park- ???
Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth.
World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies.
The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems..

So wolf-sized cynodont predators, larger curotarsan rauisuchid predators, large herbivorous testudines, monitor lizard like scavengers? Interesting!!!!!!!!

Often I read this forum was really surprised that this point has not been used up yet.

I wonder what species outcompete the air, when the ancestors of both birds and pteranodon extinct? It is possible that one of the arboreal gliding reptile in your lifestyle?

I don't think birds, but if there are birds, they should be specialised flying/gliding reptiles from another stock. Possibly there'll be pterosaurs, not pterodactyloids but still large flying sauropsids. Maybe flying avicephalans?

You're right, I've haven't really seen this theme hasn't been used much.
Nice avatar by the way.

I love this idea.
I do art sometimes.

"if you want green eat a salad"

Projects:
Amammalia: A strange place where mammals didn't make it and the land is, once again, dominated by archosaurs.

Oceanus: An endless sea dotted with islands, reefs, and black holes. Literally endless, literal black holes.
