Back in June, I saw a series of tweets by sculptor and digital artist Ruadhrí Brennan, showing off the work he’d been doing on sculpting brachiosaurid skulls: Giraffatitan , Brachiosaurus (based on the Felch Quarry skull USNM 5730) and Europasaurus . Impressed, I asked if he would send a Giraffatitan skull, and here it is! You can immediately see two things: one, it’s good.

Last week, while Fiona and I were out walking, we noticed a decaying roadkill badger a bit over half a mile from our house. Yesterday we were out walking again, and we saw that it had decayed to the point where there was not much to the flesh at all. I prodded it with my foot and found that the skull was about ready to come away.
