Lyme Regis Museumさんのイラストまとめ

We have lots of fun creative activities on the Make & Do page on our website - from painting a 3D pirate ship to making a clay Mary Anning model. They’ve been created by @DarrellWakelam and @CreativeClayFor All

Head to https://t.co/bPxLbhkA10 to find out what you could make.

Ichthyosaur bones can create patterns of ridges in the shale, even if bones can’t be seen. Other fossils & mineral concretions can form bumps too. Pic shows the bones in section - half an ichthyosaur bone looks like a black bow tie. 6/9

The scattered Ichthyosaur bones are buried in mud - the faster this occurs the better. All the bones will generally be within one narrow layer. As layers build up, the mud compresses more than the bone underneath, and can create a bump in the shale. 5/9
