Some more stuff for island fauna for #IslandFaunaWeek
Aepyornis, Megaladapis, Deinogalerix and Thecodontosaurs. The last one is for me especially interesting because the animals not only lived on islands but were found in cave deposits.

#IslandFaunaWeek just started!
Expect tons of content coming from me over the next few days. Prehistoric islands were inhabited by some of the most interesting animals and plants earth has provided us with!
Here Ornimegalonyx, Europasaurs, Cygnus falconeri and Myotragus!
@TylerGreenfieId @VxnxmXxx @Bonpland In one case we got at least some idea how it might look like because one Cretaceous clade had hooks that are preserved in articulation in one specimen, but unfortunately that's only the pair of tentacles, what the arms looked like is uncertain.
Little update.
While many pointed out the similaritiy to some old toys and a certain kaiju, one of my first comparisons was with the weird Triassic synapsid Protuberum.
Spicomellus, SPICOMELLUS!!!!!
Osteoderms fused to ribs! We might be missing here a whole radiation of bizarre thyreophorans.
