sauropods.win/@TheDinosaurDave… TheDinosaurDave@sauropods.win - This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #MegalonyxThe first fossils of a large animal were found in a cave in 1796 by Colonel John Stuart. He sent them to Thomas Jefferson as he was getting ready to become president.
Jefferson examined the femur fragment, ulna, radius and foot bones, including three large claws and wrote a paper about them. He named the animal Megalonyx from the Greek "Mega" (giant) and "Onyx" (claw).
In 1799 Caspar Wistar identified them as the remains of a Giant Ground Sloth

I just ran across a dumbass posting about how he had run across some dumbass trying to convince him that there was no difference between Dems & GOP, basically calling all Palestinians dumbasses.
Dems support Netanyahu. GOP supports Netanyahu. The dumbass is the one that can't understand this.
