@j_stocky Let’s see…I have…
Insectivorous therizinosaur, desert ceratopsian, Camel-mimic oreodont, and a desert wandering sauropod.
My latest commission artwork of ancient even-toed ungulates called as oreodonts like Agriochoerus, Leptauchenia, and Merycochoerus for @MarysRevenge...
My new Merycochoerus sketch certainly woke some oreodont cravings again, or maybe I just pander to @MarysRevenge
Specember day 1: New Clade
Speculative oreodont that adapted to the life on the vast plains and desert environment.

Happy #FossilFriday and a very Merycochoerus/Merychyus/Merycoidodon to you! Mery means "ruminant like" in latin so the majority of oreodont names are repetitive and also extremely seasonally appropriate! #Fossils #Paleontology #Science #Geology #Oligocene #Cenozoic #Oreodont
Merycoidodon gracilis was a small member of the oreodont family. This adult skeleton is only about the size of a house cat, while most oreodonts were sheep-sized. These herbivores ate plant shoots and leaves, and once roamed North America in large numbers. #RTMPFossilChallenge
