TFW you realize (thanks to that Dracovish and Arctovish only copy the fish head because the species they are based on (Dunkleosteus) has mostly yielded skull fossils (cartilaginous maybe?)

Skeletal diagram of Ichthyovenator laosensis I created for its article. Yep! Turns out that like its later relative Ichthy also had a tail fin! Definitely been a great year for spinosaurid palaeontology 📖.

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

Something a little different for

When we say fossils are X, Y and Z million years old, it can be hard to place them into a geological timeline.⁣

Reconstructions like this by the excellent Ray Troll really help bring evolution and deep time to life.

Day three of my Prehistoric
Ptilophyllum muelleri, a bennettitale known from the Oligocene of Tasmania; it is rather interesting, as it greatly extends the known range of bennettitalean fossils (which prior to its discover where only known from the Mesozoic).
