Yutyrannus huali is an early relative of T. rex known from fossils which preserve impressions of feathers covering most of its body. This is another of the dinosaur recons I have recently licensed to a museum in The Netherlands

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).

For those unfamiliar, Arsinoitherium was a horned prehistoric mammal. Contrary to its looks, it was closer related to elephants and sea cows than rhinos. Its fossils have been found in Africa & the Middle East. (Reconstructions by Zdenek Burian, , Rod Ruth, & ???)

We may not have a giant inflatable E coli in our exhibition but we do have beautiful art work from -their printmaking echoes the formation of these early fossils, which often create a natural 'print' or impression in the rock

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.

in 1908, a pickaxe struck the side of a remarkable skull. It was the discovery of the Neanderthal known as the Old Man from La Chapelle, one of the most important specimens in the history of paleoanthropology. https://t.co/PZpEKfSiqe

Sharks are cartilage except for their jaws/teeth, which means those are the only fossils we can use to learn about them. Heliocoprion's circular jaw has confused for years, but now we think it was probably built into the bottom jaw. To rotate teeth?? We can only guess.
