Arthurdactylus conandoyle es un pterosaurio del Cretácico temprano (115-113 MdA) relativamente pequeño, con 4,5 m de envergadura y 15 kg de peso. Debe su nombre al autor de El mundo perdido (1912), donde el profesor encuentra un gran pterosaurio sobre una meseta en Sudamérica. 📷Joschua Knüppe #cretacico #cretaceous

The #Cretaceous (IPA: /krɪˈteɪʃəs/ krih-TAY-shəss)[2] is a geological period that lasted from about 143.1 to 66 Ma (million years ago). It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, as well as the longest. At around 77.1 million years, it is the ninth and longest

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦖👃 T. rex breath likely smelled like rotting meat, thanks to bits of prey getting stuck between its widely spaced #teeth.

To create an exhibit at #Chicago’s #FieldMuseum, developer Ben Miller used a synthetic corpse smell originally designed for training disaster response #dogs.

Fossilized jaws reveal that enormous octopuses growing up to 19 meters long were top predators in the #oceans during an era when #dinosaurs ruled on land.

Giant, kraken-like octopuses may have ruled the Cretaceous deep

Some octopuses that lived over 72 million years ago were as long as whales. These huge predators may have been the largest invertebrates ever.
