For this #FossilFriday, a #paleoart post of the American cave lion - this time, a video showing the soft tissue reconstruction laid over a reconstructed skeleton based on the specimen LACMP23-555, scaled next to Charles Darwin.
It may get a short mane yet..

Any tree disease experts able to ID what killed this tree?
(I’m assuming it’s something to do with these gashes)
(There was another dead tree with little round nodules along its trunk, I didn’t get pictures of it but same question!)

Look at this totally legitimate skeletal mount of Homotherium serum which is definitely from the early 20th century and is very much real

Sneak peek - how muscular was Homotherium serum, exactly? And should we return to the slope-backed look?
Skeletal and soft tissue exploration coming soon (when I have some time away from my thesis!)
