Dinosaur Facts #16: Been a while, huh?
For 50 years, the only found part of the Deinocheirus skeleton (same family as the Gallimimus) was its giant arms. Throughout those 50 years, only destroyed bones were found of the dinosaur because of fossil poachers.
Flying high over a Carboniferous forest, this amazing dragonfly model is the latest addition to our @ROMtoronto's Willner Madge Gallery, #DawnOfLife - it was made by ROM resident artist extraordinaire Georgia Guenther, her last project before her retirement #FossilFriday 🌊
Dino medal for Tarca (Tarchia) Ankylo was the first time I ever tried using this Dino medal format and it feels so good seeing how much I’ve changed over all this time. Tomorrow will be the last vivosaur in my collection, and it’s been an absolutely amazing ride!

Discovered in the Argentine foothills by a goatherd, Victoriano Herrera, in 1959, Herrerasaurus (~350kg (772lbs)lived ~231 MYA. A bi-pedal carnivore & originally thought to be a proto-dinosaur. Prof. Bittencourt suggest Herr. sits in a saurischian branch of its own. #FossilFriday
Bandringa was an ancient shark-relative found in the Mazon Creek concretions. The dominance of youngsters and egg cases suggest the area served as a nursery. What's more, arthropod remains are found in their stomachs.

No. 140: Kabuto
Shellfish Pokémon
Kabuto is a Pokémon that has been regenerated from a fossil. However, in extremely rare cases, living examples have been discovered. The Pokémon has not changed at all for 300 million years.
@fel_carson Mugendramon is basically a redemption arc for the Tapirmon line cuz SkullMammothmon is a walking bulleye.
I mean, would you rather pick a mecha dragon over a walking metal fossil?

Dino medal for Eremo (Eremotherium) Megath always felt like a vivosaur who deserved to look cuter, I mean it’s literally a gigantic sloth. With Eremo here I had only one goal in mind: make him look absolutely as huggable as possible! ☺️

Dino medal for Tylo (Tylosaurus) unfortunately the original design is lost, but over time I’ve really went into the poisonous aspect of his design. Definitely another one I really have grown fond of

Cygnus falconeri was a giant swan native to the islands of Malta and Sicily. It was around 1/3 bigger than modern mute swans and lived alongside miniature elephants and hippos.

Genesis Blu, Gals older sister, has come to earth! With her newly acquired "Mirror Killer" form she decides to help Gwen deal with the Fossil Mutants. But this new form may be to powerful for her to control! Can Gwen save Blu from herself while still adapting to her own new form?
So, it's been 84 years, but I finally got to finish this drawing of the baby Ovirraptorid fossil described last year.
I was aiming for a more "real" depiction of a newly born animal instead of a cute one we always seem to get. Hope you like it!

Dino medal for Gorgops (Gorgonops) His design is practically the same as it’s always been, though I got experimental in changing his color scheme. I think it came out very well, a sort of combo between a lion and a tiger
