Me.

Well itโ€™s not always typing, once I quoted everyoneโ€™s posts in Darkrest and it got to about 90k

Is there enough time for me to develop infared?

Idk I developed better vision in 1 round so it should be doable in a small about of time

Do Conodonts already have a cartilaginous skeleton?

I think so? Iโ€™ve read their bodies besides their teeth and stuff didnโ€™t fossilize so Iโ€™d assume so

One paper seems to suggest it.

Indirect evidence suggests a differentiated brain and cartilaginous head skeleton.

There have been incidents with full fossilized Conodonts, but only 3 iirc, outlining muscle shapes.

They seem to be adept cruisers but have poor burst speeds, surprisingly short lives at only a month long, and it seems that most were most likely hunters rather than suspension feeders, though some Devonian species are hypothesized to have done so anyway.

There teeth are really interesting as well

But anyway, Wikipedia says there is some evidence relating to Cartiliginous skeletons, specifically comparing them to modern jawless fish, but I canโ€™t find much more than that

Living just a month is rare even by modern vertebrate standards

Are you going to stay with fern like designs or eventually move on to those seen in โ€œsuperiorโ€ plants?

@Cha @Ill_try_at_least we need your votes

Mutation Uno: Improvement at being a sponge for water rentention into the ground and itself keeping soil moist and a preferable condition for itself.

Mutation Dos: Improvement at nutrient gathering for the Gameophytes from the ocean.

Oh now I just realized there are no sponges in this world, or corals for that matter. Probably means weโ€™ll have much less diversity in sealife

I wonder what will replace corals in their niche?

Eh probably 2, maybe 3

Depends on if split evolution lines occur. I see three distinct possibilities tbh

First, a pseudo-multicellular or true multicellular archaea develops some form of oxygen tolerance and forms incredibly deep sea reefs

Second, if split evolutions possible, a Lingula branch becomes a coral analogue, maybe even an entire colony, like a reef that can move to a new location if threatened/if conditions arenโ€™t ideal

Third, a plankton evolution. While possible without split lineages, that would leave the huge niche of plankton wide open, which I donโ€™t think is the right move. However the plankton listed at the start of the game already have hard structures they could adapt to interlock to form an analogous coral.

Edit: Meant to reply to AnthropocenianAge
