    #Ammonite survival across the #Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary confirmed by new data from Denmark nature.com/articles/s41598-025

    "If these findings are correct, they solve one mystery but leave us with another. Previous research has suggested that ammonite populations may have hung on for up to 68,000 years after the impact. So if the impact itself didn't deliver a fatal blow, what exactly finished them off?"

  5. Happy St Keyne’s Day!

    There are various legends associated with dragons and serpents in Somerset. The legendary St Keyne is said to have turned snakes to stone in Keynsham. This was a way of explaining the ammonites found in the area and Keyne may have lent her name to the town.

  21. #Fossils in #Morocco reveal the astounding diversity of marine life 66 million years ago, just before the asteroid hit theconversation.com/giant-sea-

    "Wind caused upwelling of nutrient-rich waters, fertilising the seas, and driving vast #plankton blooms. #Phytoplankton fed #zooplankton, feeding small fish and #ammonites, feeding larger animals... and an extraordinary diversity of marine #reptiles sat atop the food chain: giant sea #turtles, long-necked #plesiosaurs and the #mosasaurs."
