Description

The first in my paleo museum exhibit series, the Yixian formation in China. All the animals are to scale relative to one another, and many of them are colored based on preserved melanin in the rocks where they fossilized. If you have any questions or critiques let me know!

Note; Microraptor. z may not actually be present in Yixian.

Edit, Microraptor is now correctly Changyuraptor.

I literally can’t read any of the cards for the names of the species. These all look stunning, but the quality is so poor that I can’t really tell what genus or species they are. Is this the highest quality you could get it to? Either way, I probably shouldn’t be complaining about the quality either way, ‘cause these still look stunning! Still, I’d really like to be able to read the specimen cards.
