This week for #Fossilfriday we have another #Guess that #Lego#Fossil.

This one I would rate as easy. This Australian sauropod is named after where it was found.

Reminder: hide your answer behind a content warning. This will allow others to guess without a hint. I will post the answer tomorrow (and to anyone who guesses correctly).

This was designed by Panlos Bricks

Someone submitted a LEGO Idea of the “this is fine” meme and I’m here for it.

Don’t know LEGO Ideas? People can submit ideas for kits and anyone can vote for them. If they reach a target number of votes they can make it into production.

They got the votes. 👀

My phone camera’s macro mode on the ultrawide lens genuinely came in handy today! I was debating with my six year old that this was probably not officially called a “studless holey beam” even if they called it that at LEGO camp.

According to the part number, it’s officially a Technic liftarm. The Internet seems to agree it is also referred to as a beam! And I’ll allow the “holey” part, I suppose…

This weeks #Lego#FossilFriday is #Megaloceros

In 1799, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach named those fossils Alce gigantea, after the genus Alces for Elk/moose.

In 1827, Joshua Brookes named them Megalcerus (the only time this spelling was used) in his zoological collection.

In 1844, Richard Owen named a junior synonym Cervus megaceros.

In 1871, George Gaylord Simpson used the now common spelling Megaceros giganteus. It would be adopted going forwards.
