Aegirocassis was the largest Anomalocarid known to exist, and it had many blimp-like qualities. This drawing I made is meant to evoke images of the Hindenburg. Grey scale Anomalocarids are great.

Applying the Optimal Foraging Theory, this new paper about cannibalism in Gran Dolina TD6 (Atapuerca), arrives at opposite conclusions that our previous investigation. Undoubtedly, one of the most interesting Palaeo-contexts to investigate. !Thrilling!

I've not done much accuracy and realism are what interests me, but this 2014 T-shirt design for the (palaeontology conference) was great fun.

So as well as being a good model, the Battat T. rex is a neat thing to own as a memento to a cool part of palaeoart history. The late LoRusso's design for this toy and the Boston Museum of Science model was also used in an iconic painting by Brian Franczak.

Palaeoloxodon namadicus is likely the biggest land mammal to exist. I imagine if they existed today, the space between their tusks would be a pretty sweet place to set up a hammock. Just watch out for that trunk, its a tickler.

Palaeoloxodon falconeri is a great example of the crazy size disparity that can occur within the same genus. I didn't know this extreme was possible for mammals https://t.co/x52Tj8s0aH

Aaand the biggest proboscidean ever, the massive Palaeoloxodon namadicus. This one I can really hear the elephant-like rumble every time I look at it. https://t.co/rL3HgZ2cs0
