I need to find time to design a Diablosaurus OC. I just can't, they're so cute! Loosely base it from the ones from the Isle, and actual fossils.

A very nice paper with wonderful fossils. Some of the specimens (most of ?) are hosted in our collections ;) Quercy specimens have a crazy preservation (3D mummified toad and salamander with last meal in the belly) !!!
