This is explained in the 2012 book ALL YESTERDAYS (by and me) where we wonder how living animals MIGHT be reconstructed by INTELLIGENT CREATURES WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF MODERN DAY ANIMALS. Buy the book, it's a must-have.. https://t.co/Rt3EFHVGbl

Aegirocassis is possibly my favourite prehistoric creature, and definitely one of the weirdest, so I drew a somewhat surreal one!
