  1. Eremotherium for #FossilFriday.
    This towering giant ground sloth, Eremotherium laurillardi, stands in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Remounted on a custom steel armature during the 2019 renovation of the Hall of Fossils–Deep Time, its external support structure is a piece of engineering artwork in its own right.

    The animal reportedly contains more than 80% genuine fossil bone and stands 13 feet tall.
