One of the oldest #fossil sperm whales! The new genus from #Peru is +- 18 myr old. Rhaphicetus was about 5 m long, had an very long snout and probably hunted small, fast-swimming prey. Today's sperm whales have a broad snout and 'suction feed' on squid 👉 https://t.co/uMRlScGcTa
New #pterosaur species from South of France: Mistralazhdarcho maggii https://t.co/OlEkhcHg2k Pterosaurs are extinct flying reptiles. This youngster's wings stretched out to about 4,5 m, and could go up to 6 m later in life. Not bad eh? Same family as Quetzalcoatlus! #FossilFriday
