The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre are not on #Mastodon yet, but they just posted somewhere else🤓 , featuring my book #ThePlesiosaursNeck and @TetZoo's new book Ancient Sea Reptiles:
"We’ve had some awesome new toys in to go along side our books! These make a perfect souvenir after visiting our Attenborough #seadragon and Raffle the Plesiosaur!"
Well worth a visit this summer and you might even find some fossils on the beach!

"Most noteworthy is the addition of barnacles across the entire figure. They are minuscule but unmistakable for what they are, being round raised bumps with a small divot in their center"

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.

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.

Here's my 2022 art summary!
I spent much part of this year on self care. But I managed to paint just for fun regardless😊

I've been out and about today, visiting a museum for a potential new project. Museum work is always exciting, here is one of my painted (Photoshop) murals for the Children's Museum Indianapolis (USA).

#FossilAdventCalendar Day 8
The #PacificNorthwest makes its #AdventCalendar debut today in the form of one of our most impressive #fossils: the #PuntledgeRiver #elasmosaur. #Cretaceous #marine #reptiles are common from the Great Plains, but this specimen is from #VancouverIsland, #BritishColumbia 🇨🇦. Found in 1988 by a 12 year old taking a walk with her dad, the #fossil, housed in the #Courtenay museum shows that these long-necked #plesiosaurs inhabited the #ancient #seas of the #PNW as well.

Darren @TetZoo, Memo @cmkosemen and I will be talking about All Yesterdays tomorrow at #TetZooCon, because it's the 10th anniversary of its launch.
The painting is one of my best from the book, a Plesiosaur making like a wobbegong, using camouflage to blend in with the surrounding coral.
There's no evidence the any plesiosaur did this. But then, we probably wouldn't know if they did, which was part of the point of the book.

This land would once have teemed with prehistoric life. 170 million years ago, during a period known as the Middle #Jurassic, #Oxfordshire was a low-lying coastal swamp that supported rich ecosystems of plants, #insects, #mammals, #pterosaurs, #plesiosaurs, and dinosaurs.
Keep an eye on our social media this week as we take you on a #prehistoric tour of our favourite city.

Just an excuse to use the hashtags #plesiosaur & #plesiosaurs (for the first time on this platform?). A Plesiosaurus I illustrated 12 years ago when I used to draw.
