Garrett LatimerSome dinosaurs at the pool. Size does matter in these Cretaceous waters…

Ele Willoughby, PhDthe famed Swiss palaeontologist Louis Agassiz (who thanked her in his book Studies of Fossil Fish, & named two species in her honour). She corresponded with the foremost geologists of her day, Charles Lyell, & Adam Sedgwick who taught Darwin.
She made her first significant find, the first #ichthyosaur skeleton to be correctly identified, with her brother when she was only 12 years old. 🧵4/5

George the GorillaYesterday we were visited by PhD student Archie Henderson from the University of Reading who was collecting data from several of our fossil vertebrates including this ichthyosaur.

The ichthyosaur jigsaw puzzle continues. Some substantially complete ribs are taking shape thanks to the meticulous work of @WitcherClo

Marine reptile fun! @WitcherClo led an outreach event at Wollaton Hall #NottNatHist Museum a few weeks ago. We challenged visitors to ID the fossil bones of an ichthyosaur and work out where they fit in the skeleton.

That little space feather duster sure has some lungs on him. He might want to find a space better suited to a life-sized #inflatable #temnodontosaurus though…

Bob Nicholls ArtTwo old acrylic paintings of ichthyosaurs exhibited in Birmingham (UK): the 1996 piece was my very first acrylic painting for a museum, and the 2016 piece was my very last acrylic painting for a museum (I started painting digitally).

The #Avali pits his powerful respiratory system against the life-sized #Temnodontosaurus' appetite for air. It's probably going to be a stalemate, there's not enough space for the big-eyed #marinereptile to finish growing.

@aphinityavali.bsky.social tests his mettle blowing up Poole the #Temnodontosaurus, who’s over five times longer than the space feather duster is tall.
The foreshortening needs fine-tuning though, I’ll fix that when I scan.
🐝 H. McGillDay 9: Ichthyosaur
Apparently the closest living relative to an ichthyosaur is a turtle? Can anyone out there correct me on this?
