Stw 183 is the left side of a young australopith face from Sterkfontein, South Africa. Although it has been likened to the type fossil of Paranthropus robustus (TM1517, green), virtually overlapping the fossils shows it lacks a classic "robust" face

One of the most amazing fossils I have studied is KNM ER 18925, a complete skull and mandible of Theropithecus oswaldi that allowed me to reconstruct the animal's head with unusual confidence. Exepctional specimens like this are a paleoartist's dream!

Some five-year-old for troodontids meet Tusoteuthis. Fossil coleoids are famously difficult to reconstruct (all soft-tissue, virtually no skeleton), so it's sometimes best to bundle them up on a beach where no-one can tell what they're meant to look like.
