Huge Tyrannosaurus Rex Fossil Femur
Located in London, GB
Fossilised Tyrannosaurus Rex Femur Late Cretaceous, circa 67 Million years before present Height: 3 foot and 11.5 inches. Found on the Orwick Ranch, Butte County, South Dakota, July 7th 2020. An enormous fossilised femur, one of the largest examples known, from an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex measuring an estimated 12 metres in length and weighing up to 7 tonnes. A beautifully preserved, sculptural fossil, with a mottled dark brown surface. Found in Butte County, South Dakota, this fossil comes from the Hell Creek ecosystem, where the first T. rex fossils were unearthed in 1902 by Barnum Brown, a palaeontologist with the American Museum of Natural History. On 25 July 1902, in sheer awe of his discovery, Brown wrote, ‘Quarry No. 1 contains the femur, pubes, humerus, three vertebrae and two undetermined bones of a large Carnivorous Dinosaur... I have never seen anything like it from the Cretaceous.’ The genus was first classified following its complete excavation in 1905. In that year, Henry Fairfield Osborne, President of the American Museum of Natural History, stated: ‘I propose to make this animal the type of a new genus, Tyrannosaurus, in reference to its size, which greatly exceeds that of any carnivorous land animal hitherto described...’ Osborne could not help celebrating his museum’s spectacular acquisition. He further stated that ‘This animal is in fact the ne plus ultra of the evolution of the large carnivorous dinosaurs: in brief it is entitled to the royal and high sounding group name which I have applied to it...’ This name - deriving from the Greek and Latin for ‘tyrant lizard king...

Renaissance Italian Inkwell Calamelli workshop, Faenza, second half of the 16th
By Virgiliotto Calamelli
Located in Milano, IT
Inkwell Calamelli workshop (attr.). Faenza, second half of the 16th century Height 4.33 in; length 8.07 in; depth 2.95 in (11 cm; 20.5 cm; 7.5 cm) Weight: 0.800 lb (363 g) State of conservation: some chipping to the top of the mask around the mouth. Handle glued, without any restorations; minor chips in some raised areas. This object has the shape of a foot wearing Greek-style footwear, as can be seen in some raised areas. The foot is anatomically modeled with bare toes, while the ankle is partially covered by the footwear. On the heel, there is a small circular handle to support the object. The mouth of the container is shaped like a mask. The interior, completely enameled, suggests that the piece was intended to be used as an inkwell or to contain some other liquid. The base, however, is not enamelled. The painted decoration, scant and brief, consists of rapid cobalt blue shading between the toes of the foot, with more precise emphasis on the nails. It is accompanied by yellow citrine accents to enhance the forms. The mask is painted with the tip of the brush, to accentuate the tense nature of the eyes and to accentuate their outline. Thin strokes of yellow-orange line the interior of the mouth. Since the Renaissance, this decoration has been referred to as "compendiaria" and it characterizes the period of production extending from the mid-16th century to approximately the middle of the following century. It significantly influenced tastes at the time. It evolved from the polychrome style "istoriato" and transformed into a new style that "summarized" (compendia), or condensed, the ornamentation of the works into a few colors, placing greater prominence on the shapes. It was often inspired by metal specimens.

It evolved from the polychrome style "istoriato" and transformed into a new style that "summarized" (compendia), or condensed, the ornamentation of the works into a few colors, placing greater prominence on the shapes. It was often inspired by metal specimens. This artwork finds parallels in similar objects all characterized by this refined style and produced in the city of Faenza and other Italian centers starting from the mid-16th century. The closest comparable example in majolica is a foot acquired by the British Museum in 2011 (inv. 2011, 8008.1). This was previously published by Carmen Ravanelli Guidotti in 1996 and later by Dora Thornton in 2016 during the conference on Renaissance ceramics...
