Did Stethacanthus live in the same ecosystem as any sea scorpions? |

The Paleozoic starts with the Cambrian and ends with the Permian-Triassic extinction, and includes the Devonian, so this is incorrect in the temporal sense; there is some overlap between the two. In terms of habitat, I don't see why not, but I'm not positive |

Were Leptictidium diurnal or nocturnal? Is there any evidence to support either case? |

Don't think it has been successfully determined yet. |

Well since Leptictidium is said to resemble elephant shrews. I researched the behavior of elephant shrews which were said to be most active at daytime but during hot weather they are said to be nocturnal. |

It may look similar but it's only very distantly related. Unfortunately I don't think that counts as solid evidence, although if Dylan needs the info right now it might be the best we can go on. |

Despite having such intact remains, we still have much to learn about Leptictidium. We still don't even know whether it ran or hopped because its remains seem to contradict itself. The proportions suggest a hopper, but the foot bones imply it couldn't sustain a hopping gait. So determining something like nocturnal or diurnal habits based off fossil record alone is borderline impossible right now. Based off the gut contents we have, which suggest it ate small reptiles and insects, I'm more inclined to say it was diurnal, maybe waiting out the heat of the midday sun like most tropical mammals.

What was the environment like for the Cedar Mountain formation around 110 Mya? Or I guess to make things easier what part of the planet would best resemble it? |

It was semi arid generally. But that point in time, there was a climate shift towards something more humid. |

Aside from Dunkleosteus what were some animals that either are confirmed or would've lived in the region of Morocco during the Devonian. Or atleast any formation names |
