Back to recreation. This one doesn´t fit any of my other threads, so here I go. As I recognised that I already built or modified models of many of the existing orders of mammals I started to look which ones where still missing. I got: Metatheria: Thylacoleo Xenarthra: Thalassocnus, Tamandua, Glyptodon Afrotheria: Hydrodamalis, but no Proboscidean yet. Laurasiatheria: (Cet-)Artiodactylia: Syndioceras and loads of whales Carnivora: Odobenus Perissodactylia, Chiroptera and insectvora are still missing,as are some others. rodents: Ceratogaulus is on the way to the printer Primate coming now: Megaladapis, one of the giant lemurs of Madagaskar. I could not find good pictures of the bones, only several perspectivically distorted fotos of the same two mounted skeletons (on in a somewhat strange quadrupedal stance and one really nice upright one tha nonetheless doesn´t show every bone I need. So if you know where to find good images of this guy or gal, I´d apreciate it. For now I got this far:

From the album: TEETH & JAWS
"Phosphorite" is a phosphate mineral which is found as microcrystalline concretions of continental (non-marine) origin. Quercy is the name of a 18th century province in the southwest of France. The region of Quercy is notable for its limestone plateau and valleys -- a karstic geology. Phosphorite was mined for fertilizer in Quercy from filled karst cavities -- sinkholes and solution channels -- within a hard, Jurassic limestone. These pockets of phosphate were mined between 1870 and 1890 and then abandoned. Some early reports were done on the fossils from these phosphate pits. Intensive paleontological work was undertaken in 1965. Terrestrial fossils from the phosphate diggings include many individual faunules from Eocene to Miocene in age. Mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects have been collected. The Natural Park of the Quercy, established in 1999, covers 175,717 hectares (678 square miles) and includes 97 municipalities. The territory consists of three geological environments: the plateau, valleys, and Limargue (another natural region) to the east, with a network of rivers.
