Titanomachya gimenezi Pérez-Moreno et al., 2024 (new genus and species)
Tumblr media
(Humerus [upper arm bone] of Titanomachya gimenezi [scale bar = 10 cm], from Pérez-Moreno et al., 2024)
Meaning of name: Titanomachya = for the Titanomachy [war between Olympians and Titans in Greek mythology]; gimenezi = for Olga Giménez [Argentinian paleontologist]
Age: Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian)
Where found: La Colonia Formation, Chubut, Argentina
How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including several limb bones and an incomplete tail vertebra.
Notes: Titanomachya was a titanosaurian sauropod. Titanosaurs included the largest known land animals of all time, and many species are thought to have weighed well over 10 tons. Titanomachya was not so large by comparison, estimated as having weighed between 5.8–9.8 tons. However, it appears to have been more massive than some other relatively small South American titanosaurs like Saltasaurus and Neuquensaurus, which it appears to have been closely related to.
Titanomachya had a distinctive structure of its ankle compared to other titanosaurs. One of its ankle bones (the astragalus) was symmetrical, giving this bone a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front.

This tattoo is very funny when you know that kerning is the fancy term for the space between letters. Very important in text design to get it right.

This is obviously gonna be more for manga readers but anime viewers can also answer based on characters they’re familiar with so far, please be a little vague in the notes when mentioning any later manga spoilers.

Laios saying he's stronger and better organized than Shuro because he eats 3 meals every day and sleeps properly is probably one of the most encouraging things a fictional character has ever said to me

This is actually a really interesting type of water retention that long grass does that I've never thought about before!
You can see how much slower the snow on the long grass is melting, which creates a slower percolation of water into the ground!
It's amazing what a difference vegetation can make for communities that struggle with drought conditions!

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

Adam and Eve…Galatea. Barbie. Frankenstein’s monster with long yellow hair.
Honey and Heather Photo gave me the most exquisite shots from our Alecto photoshoot, aka AL Couture, aka Saltwater Creature. She has. So many names.
This project was also a stash buster, using up 2 existing costumes that had run their course (including my last Alecto look) and a lot of other materials I had collected over the years. There are also 9 skulls hidden throughout this gown. :3

important to note that immediately after this, Thistle’s spell breaks and Melini rises from the sea
edit: ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE. the MAJOR theme of the story is that “eating is the privilege of living” and Thistle refuses food here
