Here are some crops from "The Twisted Feast," commissioned by The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of fossil species from the museum and the Late Jurassic #Kimmeridge Clay: a bait ball of #Thrissops, #Grendelius and #Nannopterygius #ichthyosaurs, diving #Rhamphorhynchus #pterosaurs, #Caturus, #Gyrodus, and #Pachycormus fishes, a #Dakosaurus croc, and three #Kimmerosaurus.

A #FossilFriday from the archives. Here's a cast of Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni, as it was on display in the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institute, 2005, with curator Matt Williams for scale. I think the specimen was subsequently repainted to remove the green border.

Ancient #BoneEatingWorms ate mosasaur, ichthyosaur and plesiosaur skeletons https://phys.org/news/2025-07-ancient-bone-worms-ate-mosasaur.html paper by Sarah Jamison-Todd et al.: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0326451
"These bone-eating communities are ancient, and have been on Earth for at least 100 million years. Before #whales existed, bone-eating #worms were eating into the skeletons of #mosasaurs, #ichthyosaurs and #plesiosaurs... New research has named seven of these burrow types... some are very similar to the burrows of living #Osedax worms."

@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.

Mystery of very odd #elasmosaur finally solved: One of North America's most famous #fossils IDd as new species https://phys.org/news/2025-05-mystery-odd-elasmosaur-north-america.html
"Long-necked and measuring in at 12m, #Traskasaura sandrae possessed heavy, sharp, robust teeth, ideal for crushing... Its unique suite of adaptations, a strange mix of primitive and derived traits, enabled it to hunt prey from above, perhaps one of the first #plesiosaurs to do so... The 85-million-year-old fossils are not new to science, though, far from it"

Happy Fossil Friday! Meet the short-necked plesiosaur, Cryptocleidus oxoniensis. This marine reptile’s short tail could only function as a rudder, leaving the limbs as its main organ of propulsion.
