gnutmeg: (tired)
You just know you're cool when you read about prehistoric mammals by choice... ;)

I dare anyone to prove to me that these things aren't just plain neat:

Partial page scan from The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Mammals. CLick for larger image.


I think there will always be a part of me that wishes I'd had the stomach to sit through biology class so I could've been a paleontologist. Probably would've specialized in early mammals. I mean, how many people actually knew (or cared) what a mesohippus was when they were 8? Mind, I also knew more constellations then most 18-year-olds know when I was 8, too. Anyway. Back to my book. No more giving evidence of my dorkiness.



It's an early horse, btw. Well, about middle of the road, really, but I'm sure no one cares. >.>;
