Currently reading the excellent "In Search of Sea Dragons" written by debut author Matthew Myerscough and published by Seren Books.

It documents the author's fascination and obsession with collecting marine reptile fossils around the coast of England.

Entertaining and enlightening, it charts the personal journey of Matthew from a near death experience to becoming a highly respected fossil hunter helping to uncover remarkable marine reptile specimens.

#Epstein and #RobertKennedyJr., were on #PineRidge '#FossilHunting'

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 13, 2026

Excerpt: "In related news, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's is in the Epstein files.

The horrific abuse of children now being exposed in the Epstein files includes these facts: The #ZorroRanch in #NewMexico was never searched, and is now believed to have the bodies of young victims buried there.

"Former New Mexico Gov. #BillRichardson, who was deeply involved in energy negotiations in Indian country, was in contact with Epstein for years. Richardson is among those named by one of the underage girls as being responsible for abusing her. She also named #PrinceAndrew.

"The United Nations is also included in the horrific scheme. #GhislaineMaxwell promoted her #TerraMar, a false front non-profit claiming to protect the oceans, during years of testimony at the U.N.

"The University of Arizona in Tucson was among those who received a grant from Epstein's Gratitude 'non-profit.'

"These are just a few of the facts being exposed in the millions of Epstein's files now being released.

"Gov. Richardson's involvement with energy in #IndianCountry was during the same years that #TexHall rose to so-called glory.

"Hall, the #EnergyCzar from #FortBerthold in #NorthDakota, headed the National Congress of American Indians, and brought in massive #OilAndGas wells to the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota. Hall's business associate was later convicted in the two murders for hire of their other business partners.

"Hall and Gov. Richardson were energy czars in Indian country, during the years when Richardson served as New Mexico Governor and U.S. #EnergySecretary."

Sometimes I come across things on eBay that really fascinate me. 416 million years old, and valued at £25.99. For something so beautiful and so ancient, it seems a massive injustice and a huge undervaluation to me.

oh just a belemnite rostrum (the remains of an extinct species of jurassic squid) fossilised in selenite crystals in the bedding of upper lias shale near Port Mulgrave, North Yorkshire #fossilhunting

I love finding fossils on the Thames. here’s a chunk of Stigmaria, a plant root belonging to one of the colossal Carboniferous club mosses (which are not mosses at all: they are closer to true trees, but their leaves are attached directly to the stem, with no branches in between). this fossil would have been brought into the Thames with a shipment of coal from the north of England.

in the late cretaceous. the moon was closer. the days were shorter. the tides were higher. and so also. lower. and the stars were full of sea. pictured: a single columnal of a crinoid, aka a sea lily #fossilhunting #folkstone

three hours in Redcar, Yorkshire. I might need a fossil intervention #Jurassic #fossilhunting @YorksFossilFest

I try not to already know what I’m looking for. I’m just looking, that way, I’m always amazed. this is a piece of fossilised horn coral with the outer surface worn away. plucked from under a rippled surface. 340 million years old. #fossilhunting #northyorkshire

#fossils #palaeontology #petition #amateur #philipjacobs #fossilhunting I’m all for this petition. When someone doesn’t get the credit they deserve, it’s time to put things right!

a pleasing albeit freezing hour spent fishing for 340 million year old corals fossilised in lower carboniferous limestone in the River Ribble, North Yorkshire #fossilhunting

echinoids have been found in archaeological sites in southern England from Palaeolithic, Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Ages, through Romano-British to Anglo-Saxon times, indicating that humans have long had a propensity for collecting these fossils #fossilhunting

score: turn back time. fab time fossil hunting in the wind, rain, and mud on the Jurassic coast today. #Dorset #fossilHunting

studio visit scheduled for today. didn’t have much to show. took the curator fossil hunting instead. worked out what the work will be by walking talking climbing looking hunting finding. pictured here, 40 million year old bivalves and gastropods found in the matrix of the slumping Barton Clay. #fossilhunting

yesterday: showed my friend’s kid some fossils. today: the kid found an echinoid (sea urchin) fossil on the beach. my work is done here. #fossilhunting

Visited Oliver at the Dinosaur Farm 🦕 yesterday to help identify some of our #fossil finds. Amongst our collection we have:
- echinoids
- echinoderms
- sea sponges
- crocodile teeth and jaw
- early mammal tooth
- stingray teeth
- fish vertebrae
- crocodile skin
- turtle shell
- fish and dinosaur poo
- and more…

#IsleOfWight #FossilHunting

Amazing how you can just walk around Lyme Regis and find small (and large) Ammonite fossils. Found at least 3 specimens including some made of fools gold. Worth a visit #Dorset #fossilhunting

careful! watching your step may result in fossil hunting. squatting to speculate on gastropods and bivalves in curb stones. we very nearly got hit by a car. #fossilhunting

40 million year old cousin of the northern moon snail, or shark eye? #fossilhunting

fossil hunting exhibition to the south coast of Hampshire yesterday, to collect 40-million-year-old sea shells from slumping cliffs of Lower Eocene Barton Clay. as one does. #FossilHunting

a huge amount of cretaceous chalk was brought into the Thames to make barge beds. most barges are gone, the chalk eroded or covered over. but flint nodules that came in with the chalk remain. here’s one with a slightly squashed echinoid fossil, possibly micraster. now extinct. #mudlarking #fossilhunting

Join a fossil diving expedition in the Gulf Coast to search for megalodon teeth and other prehistoric relics from the Miocene and Pleistocene eras.

My iPhone this hour has seen fit to present me with a picture I took of Charmouth beach a few years ago. I gave myself the birthday gift of a three day solo brake #fossilHunting on the #JurassicCoast. Many happy memories, and at least two close brushes with death 😅

all this time I’ve been calling mould fossils cast fossils. such is my dyslexia. anyway, these are MOULDS (or imprints) of echinoid (sea urchin) spines in cretaceous flint nodules formed between 145.5 and 65.5 million years ago, found on the Thames foreshore recently #mudlarking #fossilhunting

crinoid death bed in carboniferous limestone. crinoids (aka sea-lilies) are invertebrate animals. relatives of sea urchins and starfish. 340 million years ago, they were so prolific they covered the bottom of the sea like a crop of wheat. #fossilhunting #yorkshire

one definition the OED offers for mudlark is urchin, a small or mischievous youngster. from Middle English urchun, hedgehog. I’ve found three sea urchin (echinoid) fossils on the Thames foreshore so far. they first appeared in the Ordovician. excellent fossil record. so, lots to learn. #mudlarking #fossilhunting

found this on the Thames foreshore last week. thought it might be a piece of fossilised echinoid (sea urchin) spine. ID now confirmed: it’s from a cidarid echinoid. temnocidaris. an extinct genus that lived from the Late Cretaceous to the Paleocene. #mudlarking #fossilhunting

So, 6 hours on Barton beach, and these are the ~40 million year old sand tiger shark teeth I collected. The first image is of the teeth with little weathering, and the second adds those in poorer condition. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed today, exhausted now though 😅

I have to remind myself that, in terms of the span of time, these shark lived closer to the dinosaurs than to us.
