Great to be involved with the #RutlandSeaDragon learnt so much over the three weeks from @Dean_R_Lomax @MrIchthyosaurus @MarkoPalaeo @Dr_EmmaNicholls @EmilyJSwaby @PauldelaSalle @stevendey + plus many others involved. Still chuckle with "calculate excavated soil expansion 🤣"
What a superbly comprehensive paper! My sincere congratulations to the authors. The projections on the lachrymal and prefrontal again indicate something very interesting going on function wise in the posterior naris area, don't you think?

And now 4 years ago today! More jaw dropping #ichthyosaur pics for you. Still safely tucked away in plaster jackets! To all those making the vital decisions for work to start. Please please can we speed things up 😭 edit: the ALT text should read 'The largest ichthyosaur skeleton…
9/9/2021 - was a day to apply a weak acetone paraloid solution to the exposed bone from this huge section of #rutlandichthyosaur I mean just look at it, absolutely jaw dropping.
Well deserved for sure, you've now kept #pachystropheus researchers and #musuemvolunteers around the world busy for a number of years.
Thanks for sharing and the kind words Darren - it's great to get the #Rhaetian #coelacanths out there 🌎
New paper 🚨 on #coelacanths from my good friend @teeMightyQuinn and his team. 'Multiple new species of “living fossil” fish found hiding in plain sight after more than 150 years'. Press release today from @BristolUni 👇 congratulations to all those involved.…
Our new paper on Coelacanths from the British Rhaetian. Many of these fossils are identified for the first time from museum collections, many of which had been misidentified as fossils of marine reptiles or other taxa for as long as 150 years. The paper: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Beautifully preserved tusk there Sally, expertly plinthed.
Back at the @Northlincmuseum for #fossilfriday making notes with photographs of the epifauna attached to elements of the Scunthorpe #pliosaur. Lots of #bivalve spat in various stages of life. Probably all Deltoideum delta (W. Smith). Their occurrence on more than one facet of the…
Peterborough Oxford Clay dinos & marine critters, definitely sounds like a lot of fun @BdfJjl
Sadly, this year I won't make it to @EAVPalaeo #EAVP2025. Sprout II is too little & I'm too freshly postpartum to travel, do conference things! BUT am generously invited to send a poster, so now with @BdfJjl writing on Peterborough Oxford Clay dinos & marine critters (much fun)😊

Well done Hady, you certainly came to the right place.
I’ve spent the last 2 weeks studying Neosteneosaurus, a relative of crocodilians that once lived in the seas of the Middle Jurassic, and is now on display at the Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery #FossilFriday
This sounds exciting.
