Garrett LatimerAnother week or two of feeding and neither of these sea monsters would be able to submerge. Who knew the seventh trophic level could get this soft?

Adam S. SmithOne from the archives for #FossilFriday. A much younger me with the skull of the giant plesiosaur Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni, in a store room of the National Museum of Ireland, back in 2007.
The skull has been turned upside down here, a view not often seen, as I was inspecting the palate.
The #xenomorph is an intrinsically #nsfw kind of #inflatable. Even without the naked sea reptile doing his best to look lecherous (it's not his forte.)
Bob Nicholls ArtI'm sticking with the marine reptile painting theme for Fossil Friday. Here's an old acrylic painting of #Liopleurodon and #Metriorhynchus, called "Killing Breach".

The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery, for a temporary exhibition of marine Jurassic fossils. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection.

"I feel like an overfilled pooltoy. *urp* Another week of this and neither of us will be able to dive..."

It's #FossilFriday!
Here are some zooms into my "Deep Blue Buffet" painting (Part 1), for The Etches Collection. It features a bunch of species from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay: a dead sauropod, "The #SeaRex" (probably #Pliosaurus), #Hybodus, #Hypsocormus, #Metriorhynchus, #Aspidorhynchus, and lots of #Allothrissops.

Terminally unserious toothy sea chonk—Tanker and Metal Devil after a really good feeding season.
For @metalsaur.bsky.social
Extra-Stuf Brooklyn plushie for extreme comfort purposes. Suggested filling, probably forty-odd pounds. Garrett's probably stuffed him with sixty pounds of the good high-loft fill, that's likely to result in a bed gravity singularity on cold winter nights.
