The Joe Webb Peoples Museum in Connecticut has a cast of the plesiosaur Thalassiodracon hawkinsi, which they recently restored for loan and display. They blogged about it here: https://wespeoplesfossils.blogs.wesleyan.edu/our-sea-dragon-plesiosaur-is-off-to-the-bruce-museum-greenwich
Henry Ward sold dozens, maybe even hundreds, of identical casts of this specimen to museums across Europe and North America, making it one of the most familiar plesiosaur skeletons in the world. The original skeleton is on display at the NHM London.

"Cambridge d̶i̶n̶o̶s̶a̶u̶r̶ *plesiosaur* bone probably from Roman fossil hunter"
An interesting story from the BBC. This fossil plesiosaur vertebra was recently found alongside pottery and animal bones. It was "likely to have been "curated" by an avid Roman fossil fan."

If you liked my recent children's picture book The Tyrannosaur's Feathers, you might also be interested in my previous book, The Plesiosaur's Neck.
“There’s one thing about her that’s hard to ignore,
THAT RIDICULOUS NECK!
What on Earth was it for?”
It encourages critical evidence-based thinking and concludes that scientists don't yet have the answer to everything.

A short article about "An exceptional fossil plesiosaur - Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni" on the National Museum of Ireland's webpage:
This spectacular specimen formed the basis for my PhD thesis back in 2007.

Here's @JonathanEmmett and me on a sunny day in 2021, showing off our children's book 'The Plesiosaur's Neck'.
Jonathan is holding the expertly crocheted plesiosaur puppet we use in our Zoom sessions and virtual book readings.
Our follow-up book, 'The Tyrannosaur's Feathers', is pretty-much done and coming soon!

I've despised Jurassic World and everything it stands for since seeing the first film in the cinema in 2015. I haven't given the franchise a penny of my money since... until now. 😩
The bastards have only gone and found my Achilles' heel – plesiosaur toys. Grrr.
