Day 22: Platybelodon grangeri

This Ambelodontid proboscidean was a strange relative of modern elephants from the Miocene of Africa and Eurasia, famous for their shovel-like lower jaws and extended lower incisors.

(These are all pretty jokey)
1: Where are all the flying crabs?
2: What if the originally "misinterpreted" tanystropheus fossils WERE of a flying animal?
3: What if the elephant shrew becomes the platybelodon shrew, or "shroop"?
4: What if pterosaurs undergo carcinization?

Paleo Fact!

Platybelodon (Flat Spear Tusk) is a proboscidean from Middle Miocene Africa, Eurasia, and North America! It's probably most well-known for its distinct long, shovel-like lower jaw! It was previously thought that it'd use this- (1/2)

while people are screaming at each other on that post, did you know that Platybelodon ("flat-spear tusk") was a genus of large herbivorous mammals related to the elephant (order Proboscidea). It lived during the middle Miocene Epoch in Africa, Asia and the Caucasus.

Small correction: the peleoart above is outdated now, It Is more likely that platybelodon had a pretty normal trunk actually, not that this makes It any less weird, not at all.

I guess I can see the Grotle similarities but it wasn't intentional lol. They're based on the Tsintaosaurus (aka the unicorn dinosaur) and the Platybelodon (aka the duck-billed elephant)

Platybelodon

A really odd 4 meter long proboscidean easily recognized by its odd shovel like lower jaw, likely used to cut branches and strip bark from trees to feed

ALT: it was originally believed to live in swampy areas, using it teeth to shovel for aquatic vegetation

Taking my old Portfolio apart so I can make a new one for the end of 2021, and I got a jolt of nostalgia from where Fossil Fracas originated. Man that style development.
