Mauri<p>Now it&#39;s time for my favorite non-dinosaur dinosaur! I&#39;ve always been fascinated by early proto-mammals, especially dimetrodon.

Vickysaurus<p>This is actually the third time I&#39;ve drawn <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/dimetrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dimetrodon</span></a>. First time was as a bonus to my Humans and our Cousins project ( <a href="https://sauropods.win/@Vickysaurus/109596904981495602" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sauropods.win/@Vickysaurus/109</span><span class="invisible">596904981495602</span></a> ) It was one of the first times I ever drew <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/paleoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>paleoart</span></a>, and I wish I hadn&#39;t made it so scaly. The second time was a silly image that popped into my head when I read of an old hypothesis that sail-backed <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/synapsids" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>synapsids</span></a> used their sails to surf across the water. &#39;Surfin&#39; synapsids&#39; fits the rhythm of &#39;Surfin&#39; USA&#39; perfectly.

Daniel Dvorkin<p>This is deeply wrong, but it’s an interesting <em>kind</em> of wrong.</p><p>Our perception of the past telescopes: there’s the recent past, what we remember; the middle past, what our parents and grandparents remember; the long past, out of living memory but still preserved in familiar stories; and everything else.
