It's

Obviously, my favorite lizards are mosasaurs. I'm particularly fond of Plotosaurus, having the opportunity to work with its fossils here on the West Coast. It's quite the fishy boi possessing highly aquatic morphology compared to other mosasaurs.

Would be an honor to participate, showing off a bit of my range here though I got a soft spot for mosasaurs and other marine reptiles :D

Mosasaurs were a diverse group of marine reptiles that lived during the Cretaceous period. The largest grew to 17 metres. They went extinct 66 million years ago during the K-Pg event.

Mosasaurs with long necks was an interesting speculation for its time.

Quick Gnathomortis stadtmani portrait !
Fossil evidence shows that the teeth of mosasaurs, like those of other squamates, were concealed by their gums. The gums retract when they bite on their prey to reveal the teeth.

Tylosaurus proriger aka Knobman, probably one of my favorite Mosasaurs.

“Mosasaurs or plesiosaurs???” 😤😡

Neither, Shonisaurus supremacy 😎

Apparently it's

Here is Plotosaurus, one of my fav mosasaurs and one of my research subjects.

Formerly Kolposaurus, but turns out the name was taken, Plotosaurus is a really unique mosasaur in that it has exceedingly derived aquatic characters. The fishy boi.

Sci-fi author Harry Harrison (1925-2012) was born on this day. Readers of this feed might best know him as the author of the "Eden" trilogy which features dinosaurs & sentient terrestrial mosasaurs.

This Wednesday I'm giving a talk on Dutch mosasaurs. How can we use CT scans and data on soft tissues (e.g. brains, nerves, injuries, diseases) to tell something about their lifestyle? Its only in Dutch. The first part has been published though. See https://t.co/HGUG7pEZeC

More paleoart commissions of T.rex for a cool museum! I’m thankful for any paleoart work. Truly. But it’s ironic how I keep doing all these carnivores (it’s mostly rex and mosasaurs lately) yet no museum or researcher has asked me for ceratopsians. 🦖

Hoploparia are represented by some really cool fossils in Canada, like this one! They also might have been occasional prey for mosasaurs https://t.co/F9MvtEZT59
