Popular press coverage from Phys.org about adaptations in #fossil #ichthyosaurs to allow them to move through the water quietly

One of the coolest cases of convergent evolution was just published yesterday, so I was inspired to draw them together - Temnodontosaurus trigonodon and Tyto alba.

Among my favourite marine reptiles are the temnodontosaurs, mostly big, predatory #ichthyosaurs, mostly from the European Early #Jurassic. WHAT were they doing, how were they making a living? An extraordinary new #OA paper in Nature provides some answers... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is how #science works.
You have to see enough trees to realize you're looking at a forest.

Temnodontosaurus, ein riesiger Fischsaurier, war im Unterjura einer der Spitzenprädatoren in den Meeren Europas. Jetzt wissen wir: Er hat wohl bevorzugt seine kleineren Verwandten Stenopterygius gefressen.

ResearchGate badge on winning 'most read' items in the department I'm affiliated with.
Yee-ha, winning again. Strangely, my 2014 paper with Valentin Fischer et al., on the #ichthyosaurs Simbirskiasaurus and Pervushovisaurus, has been really popular lately...

In 2021 I created a bunch of paintings for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, USA. I painted 4 murals & 3 illustrations for graphics boards. Here's one of the illustrations featuring Baptanodon.

#Ichthyosaurs were marine reptiles that ruled the seas during the #Mesozoic era, resembling modern dolphins with their streamlined bodies. 🐬🦎
They evolved from land-dwelling ancestors and thrived for over 150 million years before going extinct. 🦖
Some species grew over 50 feet long!
