August 12, 1857, Victorian palaeontologists William Daniel Conybeare died #OTD. He made important contributions on the anatomy of the Ichthyosauri and worked on the geology of the British Islands ⚒️ In 1821, he described the marine reptile Plesiosaurus 🐉

You can't imagine the depths of biblical accurate ichthyosaur's mind...

#OTD in 1824 geologist Charles Lyell wrote to Gideon Mantell about his recent visit to #MaryAnning in #LymeRegis where he saw 'the discovery of a superb skeleton of Ichthyosaurus by Miss Anning. It was perfect, save the tail which a cart-wheel had passed over. It was 2 feet long'
Such a poor little Ichthyosaur 🤣 #memes #ichthyosaur #fossils

Titanoceratops, Spinosaurus for @EdgarTu098, Dinocephalosaurus and Guizhouichthyosaurus.
Whenever Mattel makes an aquatic reptile everyone gets excited, and for good reason! Still hoping we get an ichthyosaurus and an elasmosaurus. But a liopleurodon is a really welcomed addition. #JurassicWorld
#OTD in 1819 William Bullock began the 26-day auction of the entire contents of his London Museum, the Egyptian Hall on Piccadilly. Amongst the specimens to be sold was the #ichthyosaur skull found in 1811 by #MaryAnning’s brother Joseph. #FossilFriday
I know, it’s Ichthyosaurus 👀

After seeing all of the interesting #paleoaquarium art, I decided to do my own. A group of kids gathered around watch the Ichthyosaurs up close. #ichthyosaur #paleoart #ArtistOnTwitter
April 6, 1821, the description of the very first ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs by William Conybeare published. Both fossils were found by palaeontologist Mary Anning 🪨🔨

you know gathering all my progress on on giant marine reptiles I got like less than 20 of the biggest, excluding other large giant ichthyosaurs, large marine crocodiles, turtles and other sauropterygians, is really a long way to follow if I can get them all...
A great past vs modern interpretation of Ichthyosaurus by @nixillustration
A recent paper came out on soft tissue reconstruction on ichthyosaurs that everyone should check out.

Ichthyosaurus
A 3 meter long surprisingly fish like marine reptile, it hunted fish and cephalopods using mainly its large eyes and hydrodynamic body
ALT: A species described somewhat recently and named after Mary Anning, the bone was originally misidentified as plaster
