Permian Dawn

The sun rises over a lone Dimetrodon as we follow it through the landscape of the middle Permian. Included are Diplocaulus, Titanoptera, a speculative proto-archosauromorph, a Xenacanthid shark, and Prionosuchus.

The music 'Morning, when time had no end' was kindly composed for this animation by the immensely talented artist Villi - Find them here: https://villi-refurinn.bandcamp.com/?...

The 'flashing light' threat display for the Titanoptera is based off a fascinating suggestion from this article in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4200...
