Okay, thanks to the Random Number Generator, it looks like I’m working through the 2021 Fishmas tree again but I promise I’m not…plus, the Chondrostei was covered a very long time ago anyway! But it’s going to be another daunting one for me–another fish group that I greatly appreciate but don’t have much personal knowledgeContinue reading “FigureTales 288 – Clades – Holostei”

Vault Tales 102 FaunaFiguresFishes Ornate Bichir
It seems like not that long ago I did a whole long post on the original run of FaunaFiguresFishes models.
