"DNA recovered from extinct miniature elephants of Sicily"
NHM:
The island of Sicily sits in the Mediterranean Sea just off the toe of Italy. While today the wildlife that lives on the island is much like that of the mainland, in the past it used to be home to a range of miniature animals.
This included at various points in its past two different miniature elephants.
One of these was truly tiny, reaching just a metre in height and likely weighing around 300kg, they were about the same size as a Shetland pony. After this tiny species went extinct, a second miniature elephant evolved, albeit slightly bigger than this.

Shattered glass portraits; A “cute amebelodon”; Getting "canceled" is driving great sales for Dr. Seuss
The kid and I were talking about evolution, this morning, and looking at pictures of animal ancestors, and we came upon the amebelodon, an improbably designed ancestor of the elephant. Anyway, I was tasked with drawing “a cute amebelodon.” pic.twitter.com/nyCtgpSwjL

Pterosaurs had wingspans the size of F-16s and heads larger than their bodies
Scientific American, in an article with lots of illustrations, examines the current thinking on how such monsters could fly:
One of the enduring mysteries of pterosaurs is how the largest members of this group became airborne. Giants such as Quetzalcoatlus, first discovered in Texas, and Hatzegopteryx, from modern-day Romania, stood as tall as a giraffe and had wingspans of more than 30 feet. These animals possessed jaws twice the length of those belonging to Tyrannosaurus rex. Their upper arms would have been nearly as large around as the torso of an average-sized adult human. They were true behemoths, attaining weights exceeding 650 pounds. For comparison, the largest bird to ever take to the air—Argentavis, living six million years ago in Argentina—most likely weighed less than 165 pounds.
...
Some had skulls surpassing four times the length of their bodies.

Concept for a Malfoy Mansion theme park attraction; Horseshoe Crab armor; Testing out the Pteranodon
I have always liked the house to take place right after Voldi comes to power and we would be entering through the back enterance of the already delapidated Malfoy Manor, which would have overgrown moss and bushes and debris everywhere. pic.twitter.com/pirPVtSEmr— Marie (@Draw4theworld_) August 13, 2020
The first room that guests would be entering would be the Malfoy Ballroom, which would be eeriely quiet other than slight movements of something across the walls. Charred bodies would be in the fireplace. Wed come face 2 face w/h Nagini in a boohole transition into the next room. pic.twitter.com/HAxE9nh23j— Marie (@Draw4theworld_) August 13, 2020

When a T-Rex was alive all Stegosaurus were already fossils. A T-Rex is closer in time to an iPad than to a Stegosaurus.

This zombie snail. A parasitic worm Leucochloridium has taken over its motor functions and eye stalks, making them into caterpillar mimics so birds will eat them. The worm can then reproduce in the bird's GI tract, eventually transmitting via its faeces 🤯 https://t.co/mP8IrGh21L pic.twitter.com/C2xc83oU54— Mike Inouye (@minouye271) August 12, 2019

"Why Does the U.S. Army Own So Many Fossils?"
Atlas Obscura:
“I would say the majority of our archaeological [and paleontological] collections have come from the construction of the hydropower and flood control projects that happened in the 50s, 60s, and 70s,” says Jen Reardon, an archaeologist with the Corps. In the 70s, for example, the Corps blasted through earth and rock to build an emergency spillway for the Caesar Creek Lake dam in Ohio. The work shattered layers of shale and limestone to expose an ancient seabed approximately 438 million years old, studded with brachiopods, bryozoa, and crinoids.*Previously: Packaged dinosaur meat
While many of these fossils are left in situ, like in Coralville, the Corps has taken pains to excavate certain superstar specimens.
