So, somehow, the most important paleo-mammal discovery of the year so far has been missed!

That's right, fossil Chasmaporthetes teeth from the Yukon! Which...I knew about, many people did. But apparently nobody ever published on them? I recall they were id'd as Adcrocuta for quite a while.

Anyway, it's very exciting that the best mammals were in Canada. Which was probably a given, since they made it to places south of here.

The actual, I think open access, paper is here: https://www.openquaternary.com/articles/10.5334/oq.64/?fbclid=IwAR0B2gsyqada_YuSaFTpX_-IHCYSsIBBgUJKhLXPcYPVu-Ws_YmaHVW0nzo

And to celebrate...Chasmaporthetes figures! All of them!

Custom from K&M and Safari figure:


And...that's it. I need one done in the Julius Csotonyi patterns. Nobody makes arctic hyenas!
