I LOVE Calvin’s face in the third panel here. Classic.

Calvin’s expression in the third panel: my reaction when I found out that the prehistoric armored predatory fish Dunkleosteus of the Devonian period was not 40 feet long and 8¼ tons in mass, but 12½ feet long and 500 pounds in mass.
I calculated the former size based on this creature’s depiction in Let’s All Draw Dinosaurs, Pterodactyls, and Other Prehistoric Creatures (©1990) by Sue Pinkus and Bruce Robertson (the illustration of the Dunkleosteus is by Graham Rosewarne), and the latter size from The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures: A Visual Who’s Who of Prehistoric Life (2013 edition) by Prof. Barry Cox et al. (the fish and amphibians are illustrated by Colin Newman). Nevertheless, Dunkleosteus was a fascinating Paleozoic fish. Facts and figures regarding animals, prehistoric and present-day, shouldn’t have to be exaggerated in order to seem more impressive.
