Tyrannosaurus "Wilson" figure from PNSO. Here it with a brand new base that includes a skull of a crocodylian (Borealosuchus) and other details. Also, for this figure it was made a repainting in the teeth, mouth and the dark stripes. I want to thank to Jorge Moreno Bernal for his work in this piece.

The PNSO Tylosaurus is very good, although also expensive!

A reconstruction of Pitheculites chenche, a small marsupial from the Miocene of La Venta (Colombia). So far, only it has been found a piece of the lower jaw. Pitheculites belongs to the abderitids, close relatives of the shrew-possums (caenolestids). It has a large blade-like first molar.

That old idea where glyptodonts are the cousins to ALL #armadillos? Nope. It was mostly overlooked until recently, but armadillo experts have been pushing the idea that glyptodonts are nested _within_ armadillos since at least 2006.

I was trying to look up T. rex forelimb tendon avulsions, but instead I found a neat illustration of a baby Pachyrhinosaurus playing with its parents in Mesozoic Vertebrate Life. Illustration is by Katherine I. Hargrove.

Arsinoitherium was originally supposed to appear in King Kong (1933). I like to think that it still exists in the ‘33 version of Skull Island, even though it doesn’t appear outside of deleted scenes.
