More randomness…including what might be my first accidental repeat of a figure! Considering how many I’ve done, I’m surprised I haven’t done it before (or at least, didn’t catch it before I had everything together!) I’ll put a different spin on it I guess…it did throw off the otherwise ‘mammals only’ theme for the postContinue reading “Vault Tales 246 FigureFrenzy Bat, Horse, Smilodon, Megaloceros, Theropoda”

Vault Tales 220 Clades – Macronychoptera
Today, I’m going to tackle another one of these ‘clades’, or really more of a ‘grade’. In this case, a group among one of the most popular and well-known prehistoric reptiles, the pterosaurs. As a group, it’s probably one of the most distinctive…it’s reptiles, specifically archosaurs, that are evolved to fly. It’s hard to sayContinue reading “Vault Tales 220 Clades – Macronychoptera”
Vault tales 215 – Clades – Anura
We’re already doing another clade post? Yes! And it’s another one where there are a whole lot of figures, but I have just a small sampling. Really, it’s almost hard to not have at least a few figures from this clade. I am speaking about the Anura, better known as Frogs! Frogs are of courseContinue reading “Vault tales 215 – Clades – Anura”
Vault tales 214 – Clades – Ruminantia
Time to visit another clade, this time a true crown-group clade, the Ruminantia (or Ruminantiomorpha…if we include some of the anthracotherids that are a stem-group to the ruminantia). As a group, this is a fairly familiar one both as animals and as figures. The living groups include the bovids (cows, antelopes, goats, sheep, etc); theContinue reading “Vault tales 214 – Clades – Ruminantia”
Vault tales 202 – Clades – Pilosa
It’s another Clades post! This time a more stem-group clade, looking at one group within the mammal group Xenarthra. The name of the group Xenarthra refers to the unusual joints in their vertebrae. They generally have reduced dentition, and likely evolved as digging or burrowing instect eaters. As a group, xenarthrans are a group foundContinue reading “Vault tales 202 – Clades – Pilosa”
