| 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!

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. Website link: http://different-world.weebly.com/index.html Edited by SIngemeister, Sep 10 2010, 07:45 AM.

The missing extinction wasn't permian, it was the T-J extinction. I believe trilobites were long extinct by then. Though I would like some. |

You could have something like them, maybe you could do something with something like a horseshoe crab, if that's feasible. |

Oops - sorry, should have paid more attention. What sort of niches are the coelurosauravids in? |

Coelurosauravids...they range from small insectivores to medium sized hawk and owl predatorlikes to large animals most easily compared to Teratorns. http://different-world.weebly.com/crustacea.html |

Well Orrins live in deep water you could still have trilobite like horseshoe crabs. But I think they would have compettion for crustaceans. |

I've surfed through the topic, but can't seem to find the premise. What is the project actually about? |

I'm pretty sure it's about what if the T-J mass extinction never occured. |

I probably should send some warning. Most of my ostrich-crocs do and will look a lot like pre-dinobird fossil ideas of ornithopods and therizinosaurs. Bubble-wrap scales. |

Do you mean full of implanted scutes? Or just covered in big round scales? |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Hollow, with air inside them, for insulation? |
