The other day I had a dream about my ocs getting abducted by aliens?? Anyways here’s a doodle of what the aliens looked like
They were able to manipulate the slime on their body into different shapes (like extra arms if they needed to hold sth, etc)
Just don’t look at the bones too much, I barely used references and they probably don’t make a lot of sense 💀 (but like, it’s a weird bone creature from my dreams, it doesn’t have to make sense)

Cal in a natural history museum. Can he see the memories of the dinosaurs (or you know, insert Star Wars equivalent)?
I'm so sorry to be the one ruin ur new year like this but most dinosaur skeletons in museums are casts, not real skeletons ):

Moving onto my lower arm as work on my prehistoric sleeve continues, take a look at the most recent piece – a fossilized skeleton of Tylosaurus! This large, predatory marine reptile from the Late Cretaceous is a genus of mosasaur and is closely related to modern-day monitor lizards and snakes. 🦎🐍
In fact, Tylosaurus was one of the largest mosasaurs of all time. A number of specimens have measured between 39-52 ft long, and experts believe that a maximum length of 66 ft wouldn’t be out of the question! These giant marine carnivores were also apex predators and are documented to have eaten turtles, birds, bony fish, giant squid, sharks, plesiosaurs, and even other mosasaurs! Now I can pay tribute to one of evolution’s most well-designed killing machines with this amazingly detailed forearm tattoo!

Nature: Dinosaur Bones
I think when you work on fossils, and you realize that a species is there, and it's abundant for quite a long period of time, and then at some point it's no longer there - and so, when you look at that bigger picture, yes, you realize that either you change and adapt, or, as a species, you go extinct.
