For #FossilFriday, from the Lower Callovian (Middle Jurassic) of Voulte-sur-Rhône in France, Proteroctopus ribeti, described in 1982.
Oh, look. It's #MosasaurMonday! I confess, I have always had as weakness for Heinrich Harder's incredibly weird 1912 pairing of a bizarrely long-necked, frilled ?tylosaurine with two ichthyosaurs and their exposed paddle bones. It's almost surrealism.
