Took forever to finish this big boi, but here it is ✨: the giant sea snake Palaeophis colossaeus avoiding some pycnodont fish to drink recent rainfall water, in the Eocene shallow sea of Mali 🐍🐠 (uhoh Twitter cropping kinda sucks 🙃) #paleoart

Pachyrhachis ! Un serpent marin qui avait vécu au crétacé supérieur dans des eaux peu profondes au côté de mosasauroïdes, de poissons, de tortues,... Découvert dans la carrière d'Ein Yabrud qui fait partie de la formation de Bet-Meir, en Cisjordanie central #paleoart #sciart

@Beagliam No problem! If that can help here is an articulated fossil of Palaeophis maghrebianus, of close morphology and size to P. colossaeus, you can the orientation of the neural spines + how the pterapophyses cover the zygopshene laterally :)

🚨NEW STUDY DROP🚨

7 vertebrae from the Paleocene (upper Danian) Porters Creek Formation of Alabama, are described as a new marine snake, Parapalaeophis jeffshawi. Body length is estimated at 1.94 ± 0.14m, 6.36 ±0.45ft

Spinosaurus mirabilis (but I would say male Spinosaurus aegyptiacus)

I honestly don't understand why it's separate species, although this may well be sexual dimorphism, given how unique the manifestations of this are in our world.. I hope we will find out this in the future!

Here the result of the Ein Yabrud quarry #paleostream. An important locality from the Cretaceous of Palestine. While mostly famous for it's marine snakes and early mosasauroids, beautiful fish fossils and rich invertebrate fauna are completing this picture!
