My newest fossil. Reminds me of a Goniastrea or a Prism Favia. Except this one is 350 million years old.

Elephants in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania
Elephants are large land mammals in two extant genera of the family Elephantidae: Elephas and Loxodonta, with the third genus Mammuthus extinct.
Elephants live in a structured social order. The social lives of male and female elephants are very different. The females spend their entire lives in tightly knit family groups made up of mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts. These groups are led by the eldest female, or matriarch. Adult males, on the other hand, live mostly solitary lives.
The social circle of the female elephant does not end with the small family unit. In addition to encountering the local males that live on the fringes of one or more groups, the female's life also involves interaction with other families, clans, and subpopulations. Most immediate family groups range from five to fifteen adults, as well as a number of immature males and females. When a group gets too big, a few of the elder daughters will break off and form their own small group. They remain very aware of which local herds are relatives and which are not.
Elephant footprints (tire tracks for scale)
The life of the adult male is very different. As he gets older, he begins to spend more time at the edge of the herd, gradually going off on his own for hours or days at a time. Eventually, days become weeks, and somewhere around the age of fourteen, the mature male, or bull, sets out from his natal group for good. While males do live primarily solitary lives, they will occasionally form loose associations with other males. These groups are called bachelor herds. The males spend much more time than the females fighting for dominance with each other. Only the most dominant males will be permitted to breed with cycling females. The less dominant ones must wait their turns. It is usually the older bulls, forty to fifty years old, that do most of the breeding.
The dominance battles between males can look very fierce, but typically they inflict very little injury. Most of the bouts are in the form of aggressive displays and bluffs. Ordinarily, the smaller, younger, and less confident animal will back off before any real damage can be done. However, during the breeding season, the battles can get extremely aggressive, and the occasional elephant is injured. During this season, known as musth, a bull will fight with almost any other male it encounters, and it will spend most of its time hovering around the female herds, trying to find a receptive mate.

Naturally Preserved by Iron Pyrite
Ammonite
Ammonites are an extinct group of marine animals similar to the Nautilus. Like the nautilus, Ammonites had a soft body with tentacles that emerged from a hollow chambered shell filled with gas for buoyancy. Many Ammonites’ shells echo the spiral shape of the nautilus, though some species of ammonites came in very bizarre shapes. Ammonite shells differ from Nautilus in other ways as well. For example, the walls that divided the chambers took on many complex ripples and folds adding extra internal structure to the shell and allowing it to be lighter than the shell of a Nautilus but no less strong. The curious leafy-looking patterns made where the folds of the chamber walls met the outside of the shell, known as sutures, can be used to distinguish species of ammonites. Ammonites are among the most common fossils found in collections, being plentiful in locations all over the world. They became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, the same time that the dinosaurs disappeared.

Proboscidea
(†Gigantopithecus blacki) is an of an extinct genus of ape that lived from 2 million to 350,000 years ago during the Early to Middle Pleistocene, It's height was about 3 metres ( 9.8 feet) with it weight being around 200–300 kg (441–661 pounds). It lived in mountain cloud forests of Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
As it's within the subfamily: Ponginae which are Asian hominids with the only genus of the still alive is the genus: Pongo = orangutan's. I tried to make (Gigantopithecus blacki) look more like an orangutan bigger. Due to it's size I deem in it lived mostly on the jungle floor then up in the trees. I made it black due to it's species name being Blacki, but there not proof of its color. With the three species of orangutan today the males had a much bigger head so I had done the same with (Gigantopithecus blacki). Of the art work done of (†Gigantopithecus blacki) I've seen there had it standing up like a man. kind of like how (big foot) looks. I deem that (Gigantopithecus blacki) could of done that like the genus: Pongo can, but spent 80% on all fours.

Most likely - Steenbok - Raphicerus campestris - both female.
In the pitch dark with leopards , lions and hyenas all around. No wonder they are so nervous having to face the threat of the carnivores every single night.
Shoulder height is only 50 cms.
There are two distinct clusters in steenbok distribution. In East Africa, it occurs in central and southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It was formerly widespread in Uganda, but is now almost certainly extinct there. In Southern Africa, it occurs in Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Eswatini, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and probably Lesotho.
Steenbok live in a variety of habitats from semi-desert, such as the edge of the Kalahari Desert and Etosha National Park, to open woodland and thickets, including open plains, stony savannah, and Acacia–grassland mosaics. They are said to favour unstable or transitional habitats. At least in the central part of Kruger National Park, South Africa, Steenbok show a distinct preference for Acacia tortilis savannah throughout the year, with no tendency to migrate to moister areas during the dry season (unlike many larger African savannah ungulates, including species sympatric with Steenbok in the wet season).
Population density is typically 0.3–1.0 individuals per square kilometre, reaching 4 per km2 in optimal habitats.
Steenbok typically browse on low-level vegetation (they cannot reach above 0.9 m, but are also adept at scraping up roots and tubers. In central Kruger National Park, Steenbok show a distinct preference for forbs, and then woody plants (especially Flueggea virosa) when few forbs are available. They will also take fruits and only very rarely graze on grass. They are almost entirely independent of drinking water, gaining the moisture they need from their food.
Steenbok are active during the day and the night; however, during hotter periods, they rest under shade during the heat of the day. The time spent feeding at night increases in the dry season. While resting, they may be busy grooming, ruminating or taking brief spells of sleep.
Steenbok typically lie low in vegetation cover at the first sign of threat. At the first sign of trouble, steenbok typically lie low in the vegetation. If a predator or perceived threat comes closer, a steenbok will leap away and follow a zigzag route to try to shake off the pursuer. Escaping steenbok frequently stop to look back, and flight is alternated with prostration during extended pursuit. They are known to take refuge in the burrows of aardvarks. Known predators include Southern African wildcat, caracal, jackals, leopard, martial eagle and pythons.
Steenbok are typically solitary, except for when a pair come together to mate. However, it has been suggested that pairs occupy consistent territories while living independently, staying in contact through scent markings, so that they know where their mate is most of the time. Scent marking is primarily through dung middens. Territories range from 4 hectares to 1 square kilometre. The male is aggressive during the female's oestrus, engaging in "bluff-and-bluster" type displays with rival males—prolonged contests invariably involve well-matched individuals, usually in their prime.
Breeding occurs throughout the year, although more fawns are born November to December in the southern spring–summer; some females may breed twice a year. Gestation period is about 170 days, and usually a single fawn is produced. The fawn is kept hidden in vegetation for 2 weeks, but suckles for 3 months. Females become sexually mature at 6–8 months and males at 9 months.
Steenbok are known to live for 7 years or more.
