Agathized (Rock/Gound) & Opalized (Rock/Ice) fossil pokemons

During the formation of a fossil, due to the minerals in the area, a fossil can become agatized or opalized, this means that the resulting fossil can have parts made out of agathe or opal, giving them an iridiscent look

Due to this process, this 2 fossil pokemons after being revived had some of their body parts completely replaced by the minerals

The Agatized fossil (Rock/Ground) is based on the Doedicurus Clavicaudatus

The Opalized fossil (Rock/Ice) is based on the Elasmotherium Sibiricum

Cryptid of the Day: Elasmotherium

Description: The Elasmotherium has been extinct around 50,000 years ago, yet one tale from medieval traveler Ibn Fadlan has some thinking the beast survived to human record. According to Fadlan, he heard of a bull like horned animal that’s said to live near the Volga river. Though Fadlan admits what people could have seen was a rhino.

†Siberian unicorn (Elasmotherium sibiricum)

Art credit: Beth Zaiken

This mammoth-sized, horned, shaggy beast probably isn’t what comes to mind when you think of a unicorn! It lived on the cold Eurasian steppe tens of thousands of years ago, and was well-adapted to eating grass. It is traditionally thought to have had a huge, long singular horn projecting from its forehead, but a recent analysis found the horn was probably much shorter, and may even have acted as a resonating chamber, able to enhance calls! So, it’s getting less like a unicorn by the day…

The Unicorn - by Eurwentala

It's late May in the mammoth steppe somewhere in Eastern Europe, about 40,000 years ago. The steppe is in bloom with carnations, buttercups, goat's-beards, and wild chives. A lonely Elasmotherium sibiricum has alarmed the lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) by walking too close to their nests hidden among the grass. The giant rhinoceros has still matted strands of winter fur hanging from it's coat.

Elasmotherium, the great one-horned rhino of Pleistocene Eurasia, has been suggested as the origin of the unicorn myth. It has been speculate to have lived into historical times, supported by some interesting, though vague historical records of giant one-horned bulls and Chinese depictions of big, dark unicorns. There is also a probable cave painting from France, on which this reconstruction is mostly based. The painting's location in France is a bit of a mystery, though, as there are no known fossils from Western Europe.

The Siberian Unicorn

Reconstruction of an Elasmotherium, an extinct species of rhino that lived in the Eurasian area in the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene eras (around 39,000 years ago).

This animal could have been the basis for the unicorn myth that has persisted for thousands of years.

The Giant Siberian Unicorn, also known by its scientific name, Elasmotherium (E. sibiricum), is an extinct species of giant rhinoceros that had an extremely large horn on its forehead and a body covered in shaggy fur.

It was first named by Johann Gotthelf Fischer von Waldheim (13 October 1771 – 18 October 1853) in 1808. He was the director of the Natural History Museum in Moscow.

The Giant Siberian Unicorn was about the size of a mammoth. However, early reports say this beast weighed up to 4 tonnes, stood at 6.5 feet tall, and was about 14.76 feet long.

It has been debated on if this animal would gallop like a horse or would walk hunched over with his head to the ground like a bison.

The beast's front feet were larger than the rear and it had just three digits.

It is also debated on whether it had a giant horn on its head or not. Most experts believe it did as there is reasonable evidence of it having a horn based on the skulls they have found.

The skulls had a protuberance that suggested it was the base of a large horn.

The use of this horn could have been to dig for food, attract mates, and for self-defense.

It is believed that their horns and hooves were made of keratin — that is, if the horns did exist.

The Giant Siberian Unicorn lived in the Eurasia region during the late Pliocene and Pleistocene periods.

Giant rhinos have been documented from as late as 2.6 million years ago.

A skull was found in 2016 that was perfectly preserved and was of a very old male.

The skull was found in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan. It was proven that they died out just 29,000 years ago.

Previously, it was believed they died out around 350,000 years ago, which means they were around when early humans were alive.

From looking at their teeth, it is believed the Siberian Unicorns were herbivores with a diet of grass, plant bulbs, and tubers.

They think this creature could have used its horn to dig up plant bulbs and tubers to eat while also grazing on grass.

Weighing four tons means it would have to eat a lot, so it is thought they would travel miles just grazing and digging up plants to eat.

It is still unclear what caused the death of these beautiful giants.

Little evidence has shown us how they died out, however, scientists believe it could have been environmental factors that resulted in their extinction.

Others believe it could be due to having such a restricted diet or being a “picky eater.”

After the Ice Age ended, the grasslands began to shrink, causing fewer areas for the giant rhino to eat.

Human hunting may also have a hand in its extinction.

An old Elasmotherium WIP I never finished.

Does it have a horn under the comically sized party hat? Who knows but they don't seem happy about it.
