Description Il mio primo tentativo con i gorgonopsidi, dall'alto in basso: Gorgonops (duh!) e Lycaenops. Come ho detto, prima volta che disegno questi animali, avrò fatto sicuramente tantissimi errori...

My first try with gorgonopsids, from the top to the bottom: Gorgonops (duh!) and Lycaenops. As i said, it's the first time i draw these animals, i've surely made an helluva lot of mistakes...

It's good, but mammalian ears were only present in cynodonts.

Good job! But I very much doubt that gorgonopsians were covered with hair. It's like a t-Rex on cock feathers.

Well, it's not that far-fetched IMHO (gorgonopsid with hair, not a rex with cock feathers); what we know from the few skin impressions of permian proto-mammals, some of them had glandular skin (akin to modern mammals), so why others could not have had proper fur?

Fur appeared in therocephalia and cynodontia. Gorgonopsians were more relatives to dinocephalians, and dinocephalia wool was not.

Anyone remember the discovery of fur and feathers being traced back to a common ancestor? The point is that these life forms have already gotten weird enough, yet strangely familiar to us with these new discoveries, maybe they had at least sparse coverings of hair-like filaments.

Questi non li conosco, quindi non posso darti un giudizio.
L'unica cosa è che forse l'orecchio esterno già così evoluto mi sembra un azzardo... però, appunto, conosco molto poco le bestiole.

Sì, l'orecchio esterno è assai speculativo, però non si può mai dire

Comunque devo anch'io documentarmi meglio su questi "rettili-mammiferi" (come si usava dire una volta), il casino è che, rispetto ad altri animali preistorici (primi tra tutti i dinosauri), non è che si trovi molto al riguardo su internet... Non parliamo poi dei libri!

Purtroppo trovi solo cose "vendibili", e visto che degli animali meno conosciuti alla gente frega poco... :/
Parlavo di questo problema con Marco (Signore) proprio poco tempo fa.

E' vero... A proposito, come sta Marco?
