The MLD 40 #hominin jaw is one of the larger ones attributed to Australopithecus africanus. Raymond Dart thought that it was a victim of cannibalism, but it lacks the evidence that we look for today to identify this behavior. #paleoanthropology
The distal femur of an early #hominin like Australopithecus africanus is among the most humanlike parts of their anatomy. The angulation between the femoral shaft and condyles reflects habitual bipedal gait. #paleoanthropology
Australopithecus anamensis is the earliest known #hominin of its genus. Its diet seems to have concentrated on woodland foods more than the later Au. afarensis or Au. africanus, within a habitat with mixed trees and C4 grasses. #paleoanthropology
Other fish visible in this drawing are a gar (Obaichthys africanus) and a polypterid. Of the polypterid all we have are two jaw fragments, and one of those isn't even from the Kem Kem. Phylogenetic bracketing is a paleontologist's best friend.
The Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain Goat, is the largest of the mammals found in North American high-altitude habitats which may exceed elevations of 13,000 ft. Color pencil and ink study from my sketchbook.
The discovery of the MLD 18 #hominin mandible in 1953 followed the sorting and movement of more than 5000 tons of miners' dump material. The fossil comes from one of the older adult individuals known for Australopithecus africanus. #paleoanthropology
Crotalus Americanus Nagai. North American Rattlesnake Naga. Jack is very polite, doesn't mind being in his tank, but he needs enrichment along with his food- and aren't you looking mighty tasty...

As the smallest mandible in the highly variable Sterkfontein Member 4 #hominin sample, Stw 404 has been a key fossil in understanding whether all these fossils represent Australopithecus africanus, or some of them may represent a second, larger species. #paleoanthropology

Some fossil #hominin skulls have an important place in understanding the variation of extinct species. Stw 505 is a large Australopithecus africanus skull, helping to show that big individuals had brains that overlapped in size with the larger-brained Homo. #paleoanthropology
