海洋生物群が局所集積している点、および破砕片と完全体の混在から、外洋棚で底生採餌を行ったクリプトクリドゥス科首長竜（Cryptoclidus 等）が沿岸域で吐き戻した胃ペレット（emetolite）と判明。
これらの吐出物は、生物攪乱（巣穴への取り込み）、早期ダイアジェネシス的方解石セメント化、および波浪洗掘による磨耗・再移動という多様なタフォノミー的運命をたどる。

On the coast of mid Jurassic France, a Poekilopleuron drags an unmatched bounty from the shallows; a dead Cryptoclidus washed up by the tide.

Cryptoclidus eurymerus, a Jurassic plesiosaur found in Peterborough, England, on display at the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland, photographed in 2019.

A photograph of the fossil skeleton of an extinct plesiosaur. It's dark brown, with bony flippers clearly meant for swimming. It has a flat, almost egg shaped head filled with pointed teeth. A close-up of the skull of the plesiosaur fossil in the previous photo.

I reconstructed ALL the plesiosaur fore- and hindflipper muscles for a plesiosaur and there's nothing that speaks against flying underwater with four flippers. Plesiosaurs are such neat sea reptiles.

New tote bag design: Cryptoclidus!

Fossils of this Plesiosaur reptile have been found here in England, as well as in France and South America!

A cotton tote bag hanging on a branch of driftwood above the ocean. It is printed with a yellow Cryptoclidus design. Text reads: “C is for Cryptoclidus” and “Friend-Shaped Fossils by the Clever Bunny Company.”

Plesiosaur-a marine reptile Cryptoclidus eurymerus 165 -160millionyears old Middle Jurassic Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England Return to the sea After evolving on land, some reptiles returned to the sea. Marine reptiles either give birth to live young or lay eggs on land. Their eggs cannot survive in water because the embryo needs oxygen. Most of the large marine reptiles became extinct 65 milion ears ago, leaving just turtles and crocodiles still living today

#Body reconstruction and #size estimation of #plesiosaurs by Ruizhe Jackevan Zhao: peerj.com/articles/21146 in @peerj.bsky.social relevant to #EvolutionaryStudies #MathematicalBiology #Paleontology #Zoology
he workflow for establishing a hybrid framework to estimate body mass in plesiosaurs. (A) Acquire data from fossil specimens (illustrated here using the modified image of Sachicasaurus vitae, Paramo-Fonseca, Benavides-Cabra & Gutierrez, 2018, CC BY 4.0). (B) Create lateral-view silhouettes of skeletal elements. (C) Estimate the dimensions of missing fossil elements through regression formulae and/or comparisons with closely related taxa. (D) Reconstruct the main body axis, including the dimensions and shape of the skull and vertebral column. (E) Reconstruct the ribcage in both lateral view and transverse cross-sections jointly, then restore the soft-tissue outlines of the main body axis and the flippers. (F) Estimate the body mass using the cross-sectional method (Zhao, 2024). (G) Establish body mass equations from the mass estimates of multiple species. Elements in this figure are not to scale. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.21146/fig-1 Silhouettes of representative plesiosaur models from different clades, showing the reconstructed body outlines and transverse cross-sections. All models are scaled to the same length. (A) Thalassomedon haningtoni. (B) Aristonectes quiriquinensis. (C) Sachicasaurus vitae. (D) Liopleurodon ferox (E) Abyssosaurus nataliae. (F) Cryptoclidus eurymerus. (G) Martinectes bonneri. (H) Polycotylus latipinnis. (I) Meyerasaurus victor. (J) Macroplata tenuiceps. (K) Seeleyosaurus guilelmiimperatoris. (L) Microcleidus tournemirensis. (M) Nichollssaura borealis. (N) Brancasaurus brancai. (O) Plesiopterys wildi. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.21146/fig-4 Representative plesiosaur reconstructions created in this study. (A) Kronosaurus queenslandicus. (B) Albertonectes vanderveldei. (C) Aristonectes quiriquinensis. (D) Plesiopterys wildi. (E) Brancasaurus brancai. (F) Liopleurodon ferox. (G) Seeleyosaurus guilelmiimperatoris. (H) Meyerasaurus victor. (I) Cryptoclidus eurymerus. (J) Mauriciosaurus fernandezi. All limbs are vertically oriented for display. The dorsal ribs in these skeletal reconstructions have been aesthetically refined and thus differ from the initial versions used to infer ribcage cross-sections. Scale bar equals 1 m. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.21146/fig-5 Scatter plot and regression models of the pruned skull-neck dataset. The red curve, green dashed line, and the blue dotted line represent the nonlinear regression model based on a log–logistic (LL) function, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, and the Phylogenetic Generalized Least Squares (PGLS) model, respectively. Lower values of sample-size corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc) and mean per cent prediction error (∣%PE∣) represent better model performance. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.21146/fig-8

A really great exhibition that's often overlooked is the extinction one, which has loads of great stuff on show, real museum highlights. Here's mounted Pachyornis skeleton, wonderful astrapothere skull, great Pleistocene material and a mounted juvenile Cryptoclidus.
Moa skeleton facing viewer. Astrapothere skull with jaws open, upper tusk curving towards viewer. UK Pleistocene fossils on wall, including reindeer antler, woolly rhino skull, mammoth jaws. Plesiosaur skeleton in side view.
