Today is Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday! So, I'm thinking back to 2008 when he visited Trinity College Dublin and I got to reveal a cast of his namesake plesiosaur, Attenborosaurus, which I had prepared in anticipation of his visit. He talked passionately and eloquently about the Jurassic Coast. I should've smartened up for the occasion though! The specimen is now on display in the TCD geological museum.

That makes four things with flats this weekend. Maybe I can ink and color Tyr and Borusa's stuff tomorrow?

A plaster cast of the plesiosaur Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni mounted directly into a wall in the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institute. Their curator for scale.
I took this photo many years ago. The specimen was later repainted (the green part was painted white to match the wall) and it looks even smarter and more impressive.

One from the archives for #FossilFriday. A much younger me with the skull of the giant plesiosaur Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni, in a store room of the National Museum of Ireland, back in 2007.
The skull has been turned upside down here, a view not often seen, as I was inspecting the palate.

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

A certain classic #inflatable #seaserpent for @XydexxUnicorn It'll probably attract tourists instead of scaring them away, though, it's way too cuddly-looking.

Holotype specimen of the plesiosaur Avalonnectes arturi (NHMUK 14550) on display in the Natural History Museum, London.

There's only one copy of my children's science book 'The Plesiosaur's Neck' left in stock at Amazon UK. I hope that's a good sign it's been selling well, rather than a bad sign it's not going to be restocked! https://amzn.to/3JKyzdc

Replica of the Japanese elasmosaurid plesiosaur Futabasaurus on display in the NHM London's touring Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep exhibition at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The exhibition is about prehistoric sea life beyond the Jurassic. Indeed, Futabasaurus is from the Late Cretaceous.

@DinoDadReviews Ooh, I love the textured images, lovely!
That's not a skeleton of Plesiosaurus on the Plesiosaurus spread, though, it's clearly based on a skeleton of Rhomaleosaurus from Yorkshire (the one I did my PhD on, so there). And there's also something very odd going on with its anatomy.

@stellaludwig Not a cast, the actual fossil bones. I recently co-wrote a short paper about how the fore and hind limbs in this specimen are transposed: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12542-022-00616-8

Happy #fossilfriday!
This is a cast of Cryptoclidus at the palaeontological collection of the University of Tübingen.
These Jurassic marine reptiles were perfectly adapted to their environment, possessing four hydrofoil-like flippers that allowed them to efficiently ‘fly’ through the water.
Life reconstruction based on the mounted skeleton (IGPB R 324) on display at the Goldfuß-Museum in Bonn. ⚒️

I wrote a little contribution about Microcleidus macropterus, a plesiosauroid plesiosaur from the Lower Jurassic of Yorkshire (United Kingdom) The specimen is on display at the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences in Cambridge. I had the pleasure to examine the fossil last year.

Last week I had the opportunity to study the plesiosaur Lusonectes sauvagei at the Museu Geológico in Lisbon, and I just wrote this little contribution about the fossil: https://www.sachspal.de/lusonectes

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Here's the full packaging art and plesiosaur pop-up for my Plesiosaurus coin design. This was for the 2021 Mary Anning Coin Collection, from The Royal Mint and the Natural History Museum.

There's lots to love in Bristol Museum, but this is one of my favourites. (sorry I'm not sure who the artist is!) #museums #paleoart #plesiosaur #plesiosaurus

On the bicentenary of Mary Anning’s Plesiosaurus
https://paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2024/03/29/on-the-bicentenary-of-mary-annings-plesiosaurus/ 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."

@DaveWhittle Spoiler: it's a plesiosaur skeleton

I've despised Jurassic World and everything it stands for since seeing the first film in the cinema in 2015. I haven't given the franchise a penny of my money since... until now. 😩
The bastards have only gone and found my Achilles' heel – plesiosaur toys. Grrr.

I don’t draw underwater scenes often so this was a bit of a challenge but I had fun! I wanted to draw some of the aquatic creatures Kaygen meets during her journey. Here she is with a Plesiosaurus!
