ICHTHYOSAURS. from the video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3j1...) I dedicated to this diverse lineage. many more are included there. this poster is also available at redbubble (link in profile) for prints and more #ichthyosauria #marinereptiles #paleoart #himalayasaurus #shonisaurus #temnodontosaurus

Nuevos descubrimientos sobre el Temnodontosaurus, un ictiosaurio al que podríamos describir como "la orca del Jurásico", que parece que tenía aletas muy largas y grandes ojos, por lo que tenía buena capacidad de maniobra y veía bien con poca luz.

¡Gracias por sumergirte en esta aventura jurásica! Ahora puedes volver a nadar tranquilo… al menos hasta que otro fósil gigante aparezca. 🐳💨

Maravillosa ilustración de @mariolanzas.bsky.social de uno de los grupos extintos que, aunque no los he estudiado tan sistemáticamente como otros, me parecen más interesantes. La variedad de los "lagartos pez" y la historia de su conocimiento son un campo fascinante.

"Three additional skeletons referred to Besanosaurus leptorhynchus. A PIMUZ T 4376, the smallest individual, an almost complete specimen with disarticulated tail and missing some of the elements from the fins; B PIMUZ T 1895, a smaller individual missing most of the fins, sacrals and postsacral elements; a portion of the tail of PIMUZ T 1895 is preserved in an additional block (Fig. 5A); C PIMUZ T 4847, a large adult missing most of the fins, sacrals and postsacral elements. Scale bars represent 50 cm"

"Artistic reconstruction of Besanosaurus leptorhynchus (based on BES SC 999) catching a Phragmoteuthis. Two individuals of Mixosaurus and a shoal of the ammonoid Ceratites can be seen in the background to the left of Besanosaurus leptorhynchus. Some ammonoids of the genus Serpianites are visible swimming around the large ichthyosaur and a single individual of the same ammonoid is depicted in the foreground on the right, along with other specimens of Phragmoteuthis.
