Eofauna - New for 2022

[bmathison1972]

Diplodocus in the 1:40 scale range. You can see more discussion on it on our sister site, the Dinosaur Toy Forum:






Konobelodon atticus:

Starting to wonder if we should just merge the forums

I just like to add dinos to the 'New for XX' in case people use ATF as their primary source of information.

There used to be just one forum. 'Extant Animals' was a board on the DTF before Adam split them out years ago

[GojiraGuy1954]

I think the change should be reverted. This forum is barely active

Strongly disagree, as someone who doesn't post super consistently it's a lot less overwhelming to check here and keep up with things. Sometimes it feels like the DTF has a hundred new topics a day and I have to assume I occasionally skip things I actually would have wanted to look at as a result.

Me too, and frankly I'll take quality over quantity

We used to have more activity; our forum just didn't recover quite as well after the Photobucket purge dilemma a few years ago.

The best way to get more activity is to post on existing threads (even old ones) or initiate new ones that get more conversation going.

It's ebb and flow here; I know some of our more frequent contributors are in school this semester. Others have periodic commitments. Life happens.

That's exactly how I feel.  I mean, I've always loved dinosaurs, but DTF is so active, I find it extremely overwhelming (but then again, I prefer forums/sites where there's not too much activity, so even if you don't have enough time, you can still catch up rather quickly and don't have that feeling that you've missed out on too much). Though ATF could use a small boost in activity, I find it much more relaxed and "tranquil". 

To stay on topic: I somehow missed Eofauna's post on Facebook. Wow, that diplodocus looks stunning! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

New EoFauna Proboscidean!

[Arctinus]

They've revealed a bit more today. 

[bmathison1972]

not a mammoth I see!

[Arctinus]

Looks like gomphotherium. Or maybe stegotetrabelodon, although perhaps the tusks would be longer then? I guess we'll know for sure tomorrow or in a couple of days. 

[Arctinus]

And the final reveal is here: https://www.facebook.com/Eofauna/photos/a.494257077281866/7134764656564375.

KONOBELODON ATTICUS

[bmathison1972]

Thank you, as a new genus and species, I'll be getting this one

[Arctinus]

I'll definitely be getting this one, too, along with the diplodocus. 

[Arctinus]

Eofauna's posted new photos of the figure and I thought I'd share them here. Maybe Blaine can update the first post. 

[bmathison1972]

thanks @Arctinus - done!

[Arctinus]

Eofauna have revealed the new T-Rex figure. Would create a new topic, but am on a phone and just before having to go to work.
