William Buckland’s 1824 paper, “Notice on the Megalosaurus or great Fossil Lizard of Stonesfield,” would also be an excellent title for a Regency-set weird fic about a dinosaur loose on the English countryside.

A fine mosaic featuring Bacchus and leopard was unearthed from a #Roman villa at Stonesfield #Oxfordshire in 1712
It was recorded by William Lewington in this painting now in @antiquaries.bsky.social
Soon after, the floor was destroyed by locals "who refused to pay for seeing it" 😱

Just published today - a quick nomenclatural note on an obscure non-pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Stonesfield Slate! Thomas Huxley named it in 1859, not Hermann von Meyer
Rhamphorhynchus bucklandi Huxley, 1859 is the valid name and authority for a Jurassic pterosaur (Pterosauria, RHAMPHORHYNCHIDAE) from England, not Pterodactylus bucklandi Meyer, 1832

As social media officer, it’s my sworn duty to pop over the shoulders of any collections staff who have a drawer open and say “what’s that? Can I take a picture?”
Here are a few fossil turtle scutes from the Stonesfield site in Oxfordshire. Anyone know of any other famous fossils from that site?

Unaware that the men are watching her, Silulu's genitals are spread open in front of the camera and her insides are exposed The grotesque details of her genitalia which do not match her dainty appearance, make the men's erections hard to resist

Hearne then criticised Webb's drawing, although it appears he hadn't actually seen it ... Hearne's diaries give a wonderful insight into early enthusiasm for this mosaic and for colourful rivalry between antiquarians. (Stonesfield is within easy reach of Oxford.) 2/4
