I present you my illustration highlighting the overall visual differences between a Pantherine and a Machairodont head morphology. Specifically that of the African lion (Panthera leo) and the Sabretooth cat (Smilodon fatalis).

Reconstruction of the canopy of the iconic Lepidodendron aculeatum, based on new articulated fossils from the Bashkirian (Pennsylvanian) of Hagen-Vorhalle, Germany onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… #PapersinPalaeontology #FossilFriday
Upper left: Photograph of an articulated branch system of Lepidodentron aculeatum from the Bashkirian (Pennsylvanian, upper Carboniferous) of Hagen-Vorhalle, Germany (WMNM P85752). The specimen is approximately 350 cm long and about 200 cm wide (scale bar on the right is 100 cm). Lower left: Enlargement of part of the branch system: second ramification of the right main branch. Scale bar in lower right corner of photograph is 1 cm. On the right: an artist's reconstruction of one interpretation of Lepidodentron aculeatum (illustration copyright Stefan Sølberg; Mørkøv, Denmark, 2026). Red rectangle at bottom centre is a cover image from the journal Papers in Palaeontology.

Prototaxites fossils are structurally and chemically distinct from extinct and extant Fungi

Prototaxites fossils are distinct from Fungi, suggesting that they represent an extinct lineage of eukaryotic life.
