Happy #fossilfriday! 🦕

This is Patagotitan mayorum, one of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, towering over a crowd of visitors at London’s Natural History Museum. This 2.76 tonne cast of the fossils discovered in Argentina was part of a 2023 special exhibition titled Titanosaur: Life as the Biggest Dinosaur.

While I wont get to build them all. Here are the #Dinosaurs of #Patagonia I have been working on. Not all of them are my design, but most are. Remember, these are NOT to scale with each other.

Starting at the back, we have #Patagotitan (originally a Diplodocus build), then we have in front of that, from left to right, we have Neuquensaurus (modified Saltasaurus build), #Brachytrachelopan, and Amargasaurus.
#Carnotaurus, Eoraptor, Eobelisaurus and Tyrannotitan (originally a Giganotosaurus build)

A replica of what could have been the largest animal ever to walk on land will go on show at the Natural History Museum in London - assuming it fits!

Great to read that London's #NaturalHistoryMuseum, having remounted its #Carnegie #Diplodocus in a side-hall, is now planning on mounting a cast of #Patagotitan (a giant titanosaur). I am properly excited about seeing this!

But could they possibly have found worse artwork to illustrate this story if they'd tried? It makes me weep to see this, when we have so many awesome palaeoartists on this very server.
