Ah, that's beyond my ken. But I do know of this guy who streams his sculpting and does amazing work who you could follow.

If you're talking about not-polymer clay (I have not played with it), chances go up you can find a class near you. Even if they're only for throwing, I imagine you could still get worth out of learning how to work the material from them.

Do *not* buy cheap clay conditioning rollers. They're criminally shit. Fondant texture mats work for clay, so they're another source to tap.

I don't teach classes on clay sculpting, but I do sometimes offer bits as parts for miniature base-making classes. How-to videos and books are helpful. If you're playing with polymer clay, listen when they give advice like "use this brand and version, not that one" 'cause bruised palms hurt.

We took off and went birding one day. I didn't bring my real camera, so no photo worth sharing of the lifer Gray-headed Swamphen family we watched through binocs, but there were some cooperative archosaurs right by and on the road at Lake Apopka.

Sorry for the bother, and thank you so much.

This research paper

No problem. :)

It's only known from its lower jaw, which is very thin and U-shaped. Might've looked similar to Stomatosuchus.

There is a species of crocodilian in North America that were considered possible caimans (so would be alligators), last I was involved in that world, but with potential for them to fall outside Alligatoridae with more research. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, though.

It isn't weird at all. It's part of a morphological gradient from Wannaganosuchus through to modern alligators. There aren't any extinct alligatorines in North America that I'd consider weird. They have some traits different from modern ones, but they're pretty normal for alligatorines on the whole.

Mud in the cave, leaves blown in the entrance and another hole in back, moss lush on the dripline. The mud inside is disturbed so you can put tiny to small minis in there, too.
