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.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

I just realized this has some crurotarsians in it, like in TA. Whoops. Soz JF

Aetosauria - Elephant/Pig like forms
Phytosauria - Crocodiles
Prolacertiformes - Small scavengers, except for Shavopteryx descendants, and isolated large creatures
Rauisuchia - Big carnivores, and some gallimimid like forms
Rhynchosauria - Hippo like creatures
Trilophosauria - Ungulate like life forms
Younginiformes - Lizards
Avicephala - Bird like, chameleon like in some forms
Thalattosauria - Sea-lizards
Sphenosuchia - Most non volant arboreal carnivores

I'll get some work started on this soon. If anyoone would like to help, just ask.

I think the beak would be easier to evolve, besides weren't the tips of their snouts already more beak-like than lip-like. And well done for filling out your site.

Thumbs up for filling out your site. Your aeteosaurs overall are great :) Am I right in thinking that they look like armored, beaked sauropods?

And what do you plan on having for thalattosaurs? Something like toothed whales?

Kind of, but the necks are fairly short in comparison.

Thalattosaurs look somewhere between a mosasaur and a conger eel/king of herrings
