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.

It's marine reptile Monday!
Okay, that's not a thing, but here is an old acrylic painting from 1999 (26 years old!). It depicts a Liopleurodon breaching with an unfortunate Metriorhynchus in its jaws. It was commissioned for a TV series that was never made.

Delve into the history and inspiration behind the 1950s Marx Kronosaurus plastic toy: https://dinotoyblog.com/kronosaurus-marx/

This is one of the most insightful and thorough reviews to date on the @dinotoyblog, and also the final Marx figure to be checked off the reviewer's to-do list.

N.B. Controversially, the skeleton may not even be Kronosaurus (see, Eiectus).

Paleoartist @BobNicholls kneels at his Liopleurodon shrine. All hail pliosaurs!

He was also touching up the paintwork while he was down there.

I just posted a short 'Plesiosaur Bites' blog article about new (2018-2023) plesiosaur toys: https://plesiosauria.com/six-more-years-of-new-plesiosaur-toys-2018-2023/

Lots of links therein to #DinoToyBlog reviews.

I've updated my plesiosaur genera stratigraphic chart again with some more recently named taxa. I can hardly keep up! Please let me know if I've missed any.

Another story about the new pliosaur, this one in #NewScientist includes a good video showing footage of the excavation, interviews, and more views of the skull: https://www.newscientist.com/video/2407737-pliosaur-discovery-on-jurassic-coast-is-very-likely-a-new-species/

Another news story about this spectacular new pliosaur discovery, this time on the BBC with some more photographs: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-67650247

"David Attenborough film tells of risky mission to excavate ‘T rex of the seas’ from Dorset cliff": https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/dec/09/david-attenborough-film-tells-of-risky-mission-to-excavate-t-rex-of-the-seas-from-dorset-cliff

Wow. Now, that's a rather impressive pliosaur skull! Possibly the best ever found in the UK I would think.

"#Pliosaurs were a type of short-necked #plesiosaurs: marine #reptiles built for speed compared to their long-necked cousins... They were ecological equivalents of today’s #KillerWhales and would have eaten a range of prey including squid-like #cephalopods, large #fish and other #MarineReptiles."

New open access paper on 'The rise of macropredatory pliosaurids near the Early-Middle Jurassic transition' establishes a new genus of pliosaur, Lorrainosaurus:

Congratulations @dinosven and team!

@BobNicholls For anyone interested you can see Bob's fantastic Liopleurodon pliosaur head model on display at the Nottingham Natural History Museum at Wollaton Hall @GeorgeTheGorilla

Kronosaurus (Jurassic World Dino Trackers, Wild Roar by Mattel): https://dinotoyblog.com/kronosaurus-jurassic-world-dino-trackers-wild-roar-by-mattel/

"Most noteworthy is the addition of barnacles across the entire figure. They are minuscule but unmistakable for what they are, being round raised bumps with a small divot in their center"

This gigantic toothy reptile terrorized the Jurassic oceans.

Fossils show that extinct marine beasts called pliosaurs might have grown to be nearly as large as a sperm whale.
