#thylacoleo

[elementalspirits]

It's thylacoleo! I had a LOT of thoughts reconstructing this thing, but the main ones were 1) I had no idea koalas were the closest relative and 2) I must be doing something wrong because very few reconstructions look like this.

Koala ears were just for fun.

Spot the real fossil :)

Just finished the replicas of this baby Thylacoleo jawbone today, 3d-printed in the palaeontology lab and painted by me!

This jawbone belongs to a baby Thylacoleo nicknamed Persephone, from the Cathedral Cave in Wellington, New South Wales. She's a rare look at how these marsupial apex predators grew, and we can see from this specimen how the big adult sized shearing teeth were packed into a much smaller jaw! Here's the teeth of an adult for comparison:

Still kinda ridiculous but nothing compared to that baby jaw, I swear that thing must have been about 50% tooth by volume. We don't have any baby upper tooth fossils as far as I'm aware, but with both pairs of adult sized molars the babies must have had the silliest looking round little faces.

Facial study of thylacoleo, aka the marsupial lion! Their dentition is BANANAS so I needed practice. I figured y’all might like a sneak peek into how I make facial expressions on paleo stuff!

Beast Fables - Megafauna of the Continents Part 2.

Part 2 of jotting down the great Megafauna of my Beast Fables setting, featuring the regions of Samudria and Ifranika.

Samudria is essentially Fantasy Southeast Asia and Oceana, and all the island critters that essentially call it home. Because of this, evolution takes a lot of turns, including here in a (relatively) low fantasy setting.

Ifranika meanwhile is a continent filled to the brim with Megafauna, from giant birds to the very last Deinotheres. However, it's also a lesson in that, just because it's a fantastical setting, doesn't mean all the animals above are thriving. The raketusk elephant (Deinotherium), is not only the last of its genus and line, but dwindling in numbers.

hello! i'm super sorry for bothering you, but have you done Thylacines yet? or Thylacoleo? if not it's okay! sorry for bothering you, again!

No bother ever!! I love sharing!

I have two for the thylacine!! In my Paleo Party and Bare Bones sets. (I thiiink I might bring them to the plushie set next after I hit 500 in the Paleo Party)

And I do have Thylacoleo!! They’re my top seller in my Neogene set (actually might have just beat out Megalodon 👀)

And keeping with the theme, my Thylacosmilus is one of my rare ones 🩷🩷

A study of Thylacoleo carnifex that... spiraled into its own thing.
