       Hello! This seems to be the place where all the cool kids are going and I'm excited to be here. My name is Rebecca Dart and my day job is an animation art director here in Vancouver, British Columbia, but my side hustle is paleoart. I also have a passion for plants, particularly plants of prey. #introduction

       @serpenillus I love the pattern on these and how it changes as they get older!

       I love integrating paleobotany into some of my pieces as much as possible. The more you learn about plants the more utterly fascinating they become. #paleoart #paleobotany

       Who doesn't like lichen? Such fascinating little organisms. Here's a branch I put under my microscope and it just opens up an alien world. Little cups are the cup fungus host trying to express itself.

       Florissantia is an iconic plant fossil placed in Malvaceae subfamily Sterculioideae. It is found in the Northwest of N. America and lived from the Eocene (50 Ma) to the Oligocene (30 Ma).  The bird is along the lines of a Zygodactylus eating a Palaeovespa. The "flowers" are actually sepals, so more leaf-like and persistent. There is quite a bit of speculation here on the morphology of the Florissantia, I went with a more tree/shrub type based on extant Tilia.
