In our Faculty building, the grad students there have an amusing ritual of placing various toys all over the place on ledges, atop filing cabinets, or wherever they will fit. At times, T-rex is dancing with My Little Pony, a ceratopsian will face off against a rhino, Minions or ninja turtles will hang out with hadrosaurs. A quick snap of a new little diorama some grad student put up:

This afternoon I was tinkering with 3D photo frames. Made a Permian amphibian display and Rutiodon display. The miniature figures are from Kaiyodo Japan. Well satisfied with the result.

I was in central London last night. Went out for dinner on one of the popular tourist streets. My daughters birthday - her choice of venue 🫣

I saw this mug for sale in a shop in the area

Two Tanystropheus and one Nothosaurus tooth from the Triassic of Germany, together with my Nothosaurus model from Schleich (2022). I love this model!

As far as nothosaur models go, this is indeed not a bad one by far! The teeth seem a bit plump, but otherwise I might need to get myself one of these! 🤩

Definitely not bad indeed. And I agree with you about the teeth. If it really bothers you, you can of course touch them up with some black paint and a fine paint brush :TongueOut:

Here's an ammonite made of glass created by the artist, Treena Miles.  She makes all sorts of glass goodies, and about 6-7 years ago, she experimented with extinct animals.  This is her first attempt at ammonite and she chose a tricky one - a heteromorph.  I think it's a Nipponites.  I thought it looked fantastic so she gave it to me.  It's about two inches along its longest dimension.

I have often been tempted by palaeo models. 
But that is a rabbit hole I really do not want to go down.
