Miles likes fossils. He's good at finding them. So locating difficult things is really his strong point, along side patience, resilience & noticing things other people don't.  He finds it hard to have an opinion on Sloan & once he does it’s possible few will know what it is.

Earliest were different from modern, huge bone-crackers like Crocuta. Protictitherium, from the Miocene of Batallones, was no larger than a jackal and had a varied diet including carrion. From fossils to sketches to full reconstruction

For the oldest European ruminant! Bachitherium thraciensis from Bulgaria & Serbia (ca. 38My, Late Eocene). These fossils explain a tectonical diachronism of the faunal dispersals into Europe at the base of the Oligocene (34My vs 31My).

Since fossils don't preserve soft tissue, it's hard to tell what dinosaurs might have looked like. Many artists just leave off possible feathers, quills and skin flaps. If we drew modern animals this way, baboons might look like this.
