They found a complete Thalassocnus skeleton on my country, here's my reconstruction of the animal made a few years ago, clip studio paint 🖌️ #thalassocnus #giantsloth #iceage #chile
After a thorough morphological assessment we concluded that the morphology of the NBC specimens is closest to #Thalassocnus natans, otherwise known from the late #Miocene of #Peru. But we did noticed some differences that may hint at greater variation, or a different species!

While fossils of #Thalassocnus are best known from the Pisco Formation in Peru, they've been previously found in Chile too. This includes a site we previously worked on, #CerroBallena! And although mainly known from marine deposits, there is at least one continental record!

My newest publication is out in @peerj.bsky.social! In this collaboration with Ana Valenzuela, Nick Pyenson & Mario Suarez we describe the most complete skeleton of the #AquaticSloth - #Thalassocnus - from #Chile!

Currently thinking on making a Fakemon based on Thalassocnus, a marine sloth, and Olympic swimmers. They’ll be Water/Normal and then evolve into Water/Fighting Type. What should be their names? I’m thinking Sloggle & Thalassloth. #Fakemon #Pokemon #WaterType #FightingType #Sloth #Thalassocnus
