A fossilized shark tooth of an Otodus megalodon from New Caledonia. Teeth from this locale are often very worn due to being dredged from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Caledonia. However, this tooth does still retain remnants of serrations.

A piece from the #MonkeyCruise series, in which I take classic pieces from art history and replace humans with extinct primates and alter the scenes accordingly.

Here it's Mesopithecus witnessing a beached Otodus megalodon.

Today's mice(and isopods) are introducing you to some of my other work! This is a little bit an ad, but hey, I should get to talk about some other stuff I do on occasion. And the other stuff I do is an Etsy store! I don't sell anything to do with the mice, and I don’t ever plan on doing it, but I do sell other things.

The isopods, of course, appeared in the April Fool's day picture, although they were wearing some of the mice's scarves at the time. Isopods, for those who don't know, are also called a lot of things, but most recognize them as pillbugs. Many species can not roll up into balls, but those that can are called pillbugs. Squishy and their friends are a little too round to roll up, but that's okay, we love them anyway. Squishy, Otodus, and Kitsune are the baby size of isopod, but there's larger sizes too. I just didn't want to try fitting them in the picture.

The other, smaller crochet creations plus the tassel are earrings! Or are meant to be, anyway. I have so many of them and I keep a lot of them in a bag, so putting earring hooks on all of them would be a Mess. I have a lot of little animals, fruit, and some other miscellaneous things like leaves, flowers, and, as is applicable since they showed up earlier... eggs! I started with the eggs, made way too many of them(I am not joking I have like 20-30 of them), and then branched out into other earring sized creations. They're meant to be cute, really mismatched, and lots of fun! I have my own set I wear around and switch out whenever I feel like it or there's a holiday coming up.

The final things in the picture aren't rocks, the two larger ones are shells, and the smallest one(which I also wear as an earring) is sea glass! I live near the coast, so I collected them. They are part of one of my other hobbies! Wire wrapping! I take cool rocks, beads, shells, or sea glass, and wrap wire around it and stick it on a necklace or earring hook. I have so many of these, honestly it's unholy.

Truly, my etsy shop is less of an attempt to make some money and more of an attempt to rid myself of the excess things I have because I love to Make these things, but then they build up and I have way too many!

megalodon isn't a relative of great whites at all if you even care btw. they were actually more like lemon sharks btw. btw if you even care

Otodus megalodon, a massive lamniform shark from the early Miocene - early Pliocene with an estimated maximum length of 47-80 feet, hunts a lone Pacifichelys urbinai off the coast of Peru (~15-13 Mya)

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2010 I painted a Miocene scene staring Otodus megalodon. Unfortunately, I've lost the names of the other illustrated species, but there is a smaller shark species, a small toothed whale, and an early baleen whale.
