Geosternbergia

A large pterosaur with a 7.25 meter wingspan, its mainly known from female specimens, and in fact its believed to be a female pteranodon instead of its own genus

Drew this Drepanosaurus~ ✨ With a hump back, large index claws, chonky tail and a tail claw they are definitely some of the most interesting bone specimens of extinct reptiles that I've ever seen~ 🦴🦎✨

Something cute, fluffy and still living for a change. Paucidentomys, the earthworm-eating, nearly toothless rat from Sulawesi, and Cuscomys, the mysterious chinchilla rat of Machu Picchu. Both known from very few specimens, either very rare, very elusive, or both.

In probably the most wholesome video we will ever make, I show off my little fossil museum in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The fossils in this game are really well done, and there's some surprisingly obscure specimens!

It's

We met this "fish" in last week's episode...FUN FACT: Pachyrhachis Problematicus has been giving scientists exactly as much trouble as the name implies. There are only 2 known specimens, & no one seems to know just where in the fossil record they should go!
