Suspended from the ceiling in the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins is Thalassomedon haringtoni, a plesiosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous ~85 mil yrs ago. Its long, flexible neck probably helped in grasping rapidly moving prey. #FossilFriday

A client at work found a bunch of old dinosaur toys, the standout to me being this 2002 Schleich Brachiosaurus…

We jacketed several fossils that day and my overalls are still covered in plaster 🫡

Can’t wait to be jacketing dinos with my bestie again one day❤️

don’t hate me cause I’m tasty #sauropod

[Cary Woodruff @DoubleBeam]

New #sauropod paper day! Who doesn't love Morrison Formation sauropods?...apparently Morrison theropods really loved them... Here's a really cool study on theropod bite & tooth marks in Morrison sauropods by Lei et al (2023):

weird compliment, but thanks

[DinoDJ 🏳️‍🌈 @DinoDJ14]

@ddinodan I’d hate being a sauropod in a nasty storm, poor things were basically living lighting rods in that case

[Quinte Museum of Natural History 🦕 @QuinteMuseum]

strike me once, shame on you. strike me twice, maybe my neck is too long

[dino dan @ddinodan]

a young male Barosaurus returns to the spot she was struck by lighting, sparking a wildfire that lasted several days. he's met by the corpse of his mate - who wasn't lucky enough to escape the flames

arms are for the weak. long necks and mouths seem superior

[Natural History Museum @NHM_London]

Ever wondered where your #arms came from? 👀

After puzzling scientists for 150 years, we might finally have an answer. An ancient #fossil reveals that they might have started out as gills!

he’s just flexing his strength, soon the long-necks will rise up #sauropodarmy

[James Andrews @kryptophanaron]

Seeing a pectoral-finless ray-finned fish (a moray) do a fine job maneuvering on land furthers my dislike of research programs centered on fin-to-limb / aquatic-terrestrial transition analogs in actinopts. There are multiple (ecological and morphological) ways to skin a cat.
