#plesiosaur — Public Fediverse posts

Going with some purple plesiosaurs for today's #inkyDays drawing. I liked it so much that I started a bigger version on watercolor paper.

Here's an in-progress shot. The rest is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-august-165503193

Our thanks to the young artist and sand art sculptor who sent into @EverythingDinosaur their wonderful plesiosaur inspired art.

We try our best to encourage an interest in prehistoric life and to support creativity.

Hopefully, @AdamStuartSmith an expert in the Plesiosauria approves 😀

Starting a new month of daily #inkyDays drawings, with more networked Plesiosaurs in bright sunny orange inks.

Here's an in-progress shot. The finished drawing is now in this month's post for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/159873906

Playing with networked Plesiosaurs again in today's #inkyDays drawing. I'm loving this ink combination, so I tried it on watercolor paper too.

And that's a wrap for this month of daily drawings. I'll be starting new posts tomorrow. https://www.patreon.com/posts/157125081

Trying a different perspective with these Plesiosaurs in today's #inkyDays drawing. I liked it so much that I started one on watercolor paper.

This morning, I decided to finally attempt networked Plesiosaur motifs. I'm not sure what I think about them, yet. Certainly worth more experimenting.

Screenshot of a digital model of the holotype specimen of Plesiosaurus laticeps (=Attenborosaurus), which I downloaded from Morphospace here: https://www.morphosource.org/concern/media/000578242

I've been working on this specimen for over a decade, the paper has been rejected several times, and we ran out of steam, but now I'm coming back to it... and this 3D scan will help!

She discovered & excavated the the 1st 2 #plesiosaur skeletons ever found and the first pterosaur skeleton located outside Germany + many important fossil fish. Her research showed that belemnite fossils contained fossilised ink sacs like those of modern cephalopods. She was 1st to recognize that coprolites, known as bezoar stones at the time, were fossilized poo.⁠ 🧵5/5

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.

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.

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

New toy. I’ve been hunting for this little one for years.
