  5. It's marine reptile Tuesday!

    Here's a digital painting from 2021, featuring Baptanodon, a Late Jurassic ichthyosaur found in Wyoming, USA. It was commissioned by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The greyscale image was my draft drawing.

  6. Two old acrylic paintings of ichthyosaurs exhibited in Birmingham (UK): the 1996 piece was my very first acrylic painting for a museum, and the 2016 piece was my very last acrylic painting for a museum (I started painting digitally).

  7. Discovery of rare new #fossil sheds light on #NewZealand's extinct dolphin-like reptiles phys.org/news/2025-01-discover

    A platypterygiid #ichthyosaur from the #Cenomanian of central New Zealand tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10

    "This #discovery is particularly exciting because the specimen is about 98 million years old. This is about four million years before the final #extinction of #ichthyosaurs, which makes it one of the youngest semi-complete ichthyosaur skeletons known."

  8. Earliest #Triassic #Ichthyosaur #Fossils Unearthed on #Spitsbergen
    sci.news/paleontology/earliest paper: cell.com/current-biology/fullt

    “Given the estimated timescale of oceanic reptile #evolution, this pushes back the origin and early diversification of ichthyosaurs to before the beginning of the Age of #Dinosaurs; thereby forcing a revision of the textbook interpretation and revealing that #ichthyosaurs probably first radiated into marine environments prior to the #extinction event.”

  9. On the bicentenary of Mary Anning’s Plesiosaurus
    paleonerdish.wordpress.com/202 by @Ferwen

    "On December 10, 1823, #MaryAnning discovered the first complete #Plesiosaur skeleton at the same cliff where she found the #Ichthyosaur. The new creature had a tiny head and a remarkable long neck... In May 1824, #Cuvier sent geologist Constant Prévost to England for an official geological trip... In June 1824 Prévost went to #LymeRegis and met Mary Anning. He bought a plesiosaur for £10 and sent it to #Paris."

  10. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 17

    This #whale-sized #marine #reptile in the #RoyalTyrrellMuseum is the #ichthyosaur Shastasaurus sikkaniensis. Unusually, it was not only one of the earliest members of its group, but one of the very largest. Its #species name comes from where it was found, along the Sikanni Chief River which flows out of the #RockyMountains of #BritishColumbia 🇨🇦. Its #genus name comes from Mt. #Shasta in the #CascadeRange, where other species of this Triassic titan have been found.

  11. It's marine reptile Thursday!

    Here's my digital painting of the giant Lower Jurassic ichthyosaur, Temnodontosaurus, or, as the BBC News website called it, the "Sea Dragon Dinosaur Dolphin." This was commissioned to illustrate the 10m long Rutland specimen, described by Larkin et al 2023.

  12. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    Here's my 2021 press release painting of the Rutland Sea Dragon, a huge 10m long Temnodontosaurus. Amusingly, a BBC news article called it the "Sea Dragon Dinosaur Dolphin," or something like that.

  14. you can sing ♬ Ichthyosaur Street ♬ to the tune of The Cure's _Fascination Street_ , and ichthyosaurs can be found in Street, Somerset, UK, and that's where I thought this ichthyosaur was found , but actually it's from some other place. Oh well ...

  15. #fossilfriday bones here an #Ichthyosaur show the majority of the animals pectoral girdle.Boxed individually, with a label that read the same. "from the Oxford Clay, Peterborough, Whittlsey, Kings Dyke."going by the labels we would assume the Ichthyosaur is Ophthalmosaurus.We will probably never know if they are associated as there was no further written info with them.They match in size, preservation and fit together so could well be. They would look great displayed together that's for sure.

  16. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    The last post of my life-size Protoichthyosaurus (2019) for Lapworth Museum (University of Birmingham), it was partly built in my workshop and partly open to public view in the museum.

  22. For #FossilFriday, Pervushovisaurus campylodon leaps from the water to snag a flock of hatchling Cimoliopterus. Both toothed pterosaurs and ichthyosaurs went extinct during the Cenomanian-Turonian Boundary Event (c. 94 million years ago), a Late Cretaceous extinction pulse that coincided with major shakeups in marine and (to a lesser extent) terrestrial biotas.

  32. The #Avali pits his powerful respiratory system against the life-sized #Temnodontosaurus' appetite for air. It's probably going to be a stalemate, there's not enough space for the big-eyed #marinereptile to finish growing.
