The crests of fossil animals can be as widely and uniquely odd as those of living ones, and what data we have concerning them varies from group to group. Some soft crests have a bony undersupport, but others don't. How to know when a crest is present? That's the question of the day.

Hahah that is what a male gorilla would totally look like to us if it were extinct. I've recently started sketching out fossil primates and I just feel so dang ridiculous after drawing them, realizing soft tissues on them cannot be possibly compared to modern animals 100% of the way... I don't even feel right posting Teilhardina anymore.
