Of Uintatheres, Brontotheres, Rhinos, and Arsinoitherium

[Ultimatedinoking]

   Unfortunately, I doubt there is much work done on dinocerata and unitatheres that I know of. Most of Artiodactyla is kind of a mess and needs to be sorted out. At least in my layman's opinion.

   Around the 1870 to 1880 time frame E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh were at each others throat and naming new species willy nilly. They would often proclaim new ideas probably just to be contrary to their arch rival. Cope had it into his head that Eobasileus had a trunk and he proposed putting them in Proboscidea. Well, whatever:


   Too bad he was wrong, I kind of like the look of the guy in a Lovecraftian way!

So, it's a trunked,  tusked, knobbed, and antlered beast? Sums up hoofed mammals!

Oh, I just assumed it was a baby because of its larger eyes, and... Wait? What! It's not a uintatherium?

   Eobasileus is a uintathere and is for all purposes identical to Uintatherium.  I'll quote Avancna at Deviant Art.

   "The Eocene uintatheres, Eobasileus cornutus and Uintatherium robustum, of what is now Western North America.
The differences between these two uintatheres are frustratingly few and far between... They're like Christina Aguilera and J.Lo... Can only be differentiated with extreme difficulty by a specialist."   

Using features like skulls differentiates them. Although it's difficult to argue with the peer-reviewed journal that is DeviantArt. Especially given the comparison between 2 individual humans that would be pretty easy to tell apart.

I don't understand the My Little Pony reference...

Has to do with the whole mean thing. Since I like that Griffon Design I looked up pictures of her. Seems like Fans of that whiny yellow pony hate her for making it cry. That single roar is however the only thing she ever did to it.

Back on topic:

And since it appears to be missing:


One of the versions anyway--there are two paint schemes.

That seems to be the more common version. When I got a set of 30 still sealed Dinotales a few years ago, I got 3 of that one, but none of the other color.

New addition s to the herd, from Geowolrd comes Embolotherium and Eobasileus figures

[Megalosaurus]

Its nice to see real pictures of this Geoworlds. I actually want the Eobasileus.
Alt ought I dislike the read eyes and the pointy snout.

Here's the other variant, and with the Kaiyodo Study Collection Skull mount. Tail's broken though ;-;

What's the non-Collecta Paraceratherium (or whichever indricothere genus) in the original post? What scale is it?

[paleoferroequine]

It's Fauna Casts by Malcolm Mlodoch, 1/40 scale. See Dino Toy Blog entry. No longer available I believe.

My only uintathere... until I get CollectA's.

Figure: Unknown Uintatherium

. . . that's a photo of arachnids.

Sorry! Fixed!

[stargatedalek]

Now if only that scale of arachnid to uintathere was accurate, watching giant scorpions tear down hordes of marauding entelodonts, while tarantulas drag pachyderms into their burrows, would almost be to grandiose to picture!

[BlueKrono]

There's a few in there with my long-snoots.

[Jetoar]

Remember this friends .

Narrow-nosed Rhinoceros (Stephanorinus hemitoechus). Scale 1:20. 5 inchs/ 12,7cm =  40$/ 37€

[Jose S.M.]

That's a very good one! It's face is so cute 

[bmathison1972]

Does anyone know how the new CollectA Elasmotherium scales with others, such as the Safari woolly rhino? It is a DX model; images on STS forum make it look to big but the poster says it scales correctly with other rhino figures. My extant and woolly rhinos are all Safari figures.
thanks

I do not own the Safari Wolly Rhino, only the Bullyland one. I saw the Elasmotherium in a physical shop but refrained from buying it because it is HUGE. Not sure if it nevertheless scales well to other figure, but from a purely subjective view I`d say "no", it does not. If I imagine it being placed beside my Carnegie Mammoth or Eofauna figures, it would be much out of place. It is a splendid figure, but the size makes it a no go for me though I do not really collect for scale.

[Halichoeres]

I don't have either. Based on measurements given on CollectA's and Safari's web sites, and size estimates from Wikipedia, I get:

Elasmotherium sibiricum (4.5 m) vs. CollectA model 25.5 cm = 1:17.6
Elasmotherium caucasicum (5 m) vs. CollectA model = 1:19.6
Coelodonta antiquitatum (3.8 m) vs. Safari model 17.1 cm = 1:22.2

So it does seem the Elasmotherium is a little large, but maybe not egregiously so if it's E. caucasicum. I don't know enough about the genus to tell whether the figure represents one species over another.

[Halichoeres]

Ah yes, that's better. It does look a little too large.
