My name is Adam Frugé. I go by itstwentybelow on the forums. I have been fascinated by paleontology since I was three years old and have visited numerous fossil sites across North America, including Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada and Dinosaur National Monument in Utah, USA. I have displayed part of my collection in a state fair. In addition to dinosaur figures I also collect fossils. I currently live in Pullman, Washington where I am studying Anthropology at Washington State University, with special interest in human evolution and archaeology.

Sauropelta was a basal nodosaurid from the Early Cretaceous of North America, dating to around 115 million years ago. The name means “lizard shield”, pertaining to its intricate body armor. Compared to later, larger armored dinosaurs like Ankylosaurus, Sauropelta was a relatively small animal at roughly 16.5 feet long.

Amebelodon was a genus of prehistoric proboscidean which evolved along the Gulf Coast of North America roughly 10 million years ago during the late Miocene, eventually migrating to Asia via the Bering Land Bridge which would have connected Alaska and Russia. The animal became extinct on the North American continent about 6 million years ago but survived in Asia and Africa up until around 5 million.

Review: Arsinoitherium (Prehistoric Life Collection by Safari Ltd)

Genus: Brand: , , Classification: Age: , Type:

4 (21 votes)
Arsinoitherium was a large paenungulate mammal which lived roughly 30 million years ago during the late Eocene and early Oligocene epochs in Northeastern Africa. These animals would have superficially resembled modern rhinoceroses but were in fact more closely related to elephants. Unlike those of a rhinoceros, the massive horns of Arsinoitherium were comprised of solid bone.

Review: Doedicurus (Prehistoric Life Collection by Safari Ltd)

Genus: Brand: , , Classification: Age: Type:

4.4 (21 votes)
Doedicurus was a large genus of glyptodont sporting a bony carapace and a tail ending in a spiked club. These adaptations may have been for defense from Smilodon, which coexisted with Doedicurus, but the club may also have been used during confrontations with other Doedicurus.

Review: Andrewsarchus (Prehistoric Life Collection by Safari Ltd)

Genus: Brand: , , Classification: Age: Type:

3.7 (18 votes)
Andrewsarchus was a large basal mesonychid which existed roughly 45 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. It is known only from a large skull measuring more than three feet long and a few bone fragments, so most reconstructions of the animal’s postcranial anatomy are based on its smaller and more well known mesonychid relative Mesonyx.
