The wetlands of Lemuria are among the habitats that got the most submissions for this project. It was REALLY hard to put this one together. These animals are plants are canonized on stream. I rarely know more than a few species that I want to have in beforehand.
On Lemuria
Lemuria is a new spec evo project for and by the #paleostream community. Like the Atlantis project beforehand it deals with a fictional piece of land in 3 phases. Lemuria is an already existent concept that was invented before the recognition of plate tectonics to explain certain distribution patterns of animals and plants. In our case Lemuria is a continent consisting of India and Madagascar. We speculate how animals and plants would evolve if these two would never separate. This has MANY consequences. And the further we progress through time the more natural history will change. Phase one deals with the Cretaceous, when things are still rather "normal".
The last piece for Lemuria Phase I
The peaks of Lemuria during the Cretaceous were often snow covered but in the valleys and on the plateaus animal and plant life can thrive. Here the last Refugium of stegosaurs lies.
THE LAST STEGOSAUR was one of the points on our clade list for the phase. And subsequently we got a lot of submissions with suggestions on who this species should look and where it should live. Unfortunately non of the submissions satisfied me completely, but many elements presented I liked a lot. So relatively early on I decided to turn this into a waste basket taxon. I chose 8 of my favarite designs and took parts of and puzzled them into a new genus that was named, on stream: Deimaximerror.

Flocking 8/6/2024 -- Fona, Isotelus, Coahuilasaurus, Goyacephale
The deserts of Lemuria are just as filled with mega fauna as many other habitats of the continent. Dinosaurs were just build different.

We put together the hot steppes on Saturday. So far this is the piece with the most sauropod diversity on display

Because it's hard to show all the critters that live underground we have the tradition at this point to have a dedicated subterranean piece. Lemuria is no different. On Lemuria

Moving up in elevation we are reaching the cold steppes of the uplands. A realm ruled by giant azhdarchid pterosaurs. Few large animal species venture up here.

This is soooo cool.
In the depth of the central lake the floor of this enormous body of water gets next to no light from the surface. Here a drastically different ecosystem thrives. We call it the worm zone, for it's diversity of large worms that lives of the carrion from above, bacterial lawns and small living prey items. Many species down here are endemic, but certain species are making migrations to the surface at night or visit on deep dives.
