Fossil preserves 'sea monster' blubber 2018-12-05T05:00:00Z Dean Lomax, a world leading expert on ichthyosaurs from the University of Manchester, compared the bone with other specimens. Sea reptile one of the largest animals ever 2018-04-10T04:00:00Z Her discoveries include the first fossil ichthyosaur, a marine reptile; the first two complete fossil reptiles known as plesiosaurs; and the first pterosaur, a flying reptile, found outside Germany. Review | When the earth’s story defies religious belief 2018-01-05T05:00:00Z Researchers know because literature reviews that were part of the scientific reporting showed Martina had characteristics not found in any other ichthyosaur fossils. Nevada home to 246M-year-old fossil of pregnant ichthyosaur 2020-05-31T04:00:00Z He is part of a different team that recently examined the Aust bones and similarly concluded that they belonged to enormous ichthyosaurs. Prehistoric 'Sea Monster' May Be Largest That Ever Lived 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z Many Cretaceous marine fossils would no longer be protected under the new boundaries, including key marine reptiles such as the oldest known mosasaurs, and plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs and pliosaurs. Why are Palaeontologists suing Trump? | Elsa Panciroli 2017-12-13T05:00:00Z The two fossil experts now believe the Aust bones are also jaw bones from a giant, previously unrecognised ichthyosaur. Sea reptile one of the largest animals ever 2018-04-10T04:00:00Z Though the prehistoric oceans were teeming with fierce marine predators like the ichthyosaurs and mesosaurs, those leviathans were not dinosaurs, but rather marine reptiles like sea turtles. This Duck-Like Dinosaur Could Swim. That Isn’t the Strangest Thing About it. 2017-12-06T05:00:00Z Martina and “the giant skull” also add to the diversity of Nevada’s ichthyosaur legacy. Nevada home to 246M-year-old fossil of pregnant ichthyosaur 2020-05-31T04:00:00Z Based on the size of the bone, the scientists think this ichthyosaur was bigger than any previously known to science. Prehistoric 'Sea Monster' May Be Largest That Ever Lived 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z Only a few creatures that abandoned the seas for land ever went back: the ancestors of whales, sea turtles, and ichthyosaurs, to name several. This duck-faced dinosaur took a rare plunge back into water 2017-12-06T05:00:00Z But afterward, the fossil record shows new coral and sponge species, and animals like the ichthyosaurs—extinct dolphinlike marine reptiles—diversify. When oxygen disappeared, early marine animals really started evolving 2017-11-17T05:00:00Z The Indian ichthyosaur, which lived between 152 and 157 million years ago, is the first Jurassic sea monster discovered in the region. Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India 2017-10-25T04:00:00Z All three said they’d like to see the state develop a repository with the tools and talent to meet requirements for keeping ichthyosaur fossils recovered from public land. Nevada home to 246M-year-old fossil of pregnant ichthyosaur 2020-05-31T04:00:00Z The scientists realized these pieces also belonged to giant ichthyosaurs—and possibly to ones even bigger than the newly identified animal. Prehistoric 'Sea Monster' May Be Largest That Ever Lived 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z Robert Appleby, based for most of his career at the University of Cardiff, Wales, was one of the few 20th century scientists to work in dedicated fashion on ichthyosaurs. The Fall and Rise of Protoichthyosaurus 2017-10-15T04:00:00Z For example, previous research on ichthyosaurs – the shark-like “fish lizards” that evolved and thrived alongside plesiosaurs – detected that there’s a negative correlation between the completeness of ichthyosaur skeletons and sea level. Just How Good Is the Plesiosaur Fossil Record? 2017-10-14T04:00:00Z The ichthyosaur was embedded in extremely hard sedimentary rock, and its excavation was grueling work: Today, the region’s climate is arid and harsh, with temperatures hitting more than 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India 2017-10-25T04:00:00Z Photo by Dean Lomax Lomax happens to be an expert on the fossilized stomach contents of ancient ichthyosaurs, and he spotted them near the skeleton’s abdomen after Larkin finished cleaning the fossil.

The Fall and Rise of Protoichthyosaurus 2017-10-15T04:00:00Z They deduced that the ichthyosaur hails from around 199-196 million years ago. Prehistoric reptile's last meal revealed 2017-10-03T04:00:00Z Not only is the fossil the most complete Indian ichthyosaur ever found, it’s also the first from the Jurassic period recovered in the country. Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India 2017-10-25T04:00:00Z Millions of years ago during the early Jurassic period, a baby marine reptile called an ichthyosaur gorged itself on prehistoric calamari. This 200-million-year-old baby ichthyosaur died with a belly full of squid 2017-10-07T04:00:00Z Further searching revealed five fossil pieces that fitted together to form a 3.2-foot-long bone, which the scientists identified as being from the lower jaw of an ichthyosaur. Prehistoric 'Sea Monster' May Be Largest That Ever Lived 2018-04-09T04:00:00Z Early Jurassic ichthyosaur stomachs were densely packed with hooklets from the limbs of squids, with some also containing fish scales and other remains. Smallest Ichthyosaurus ever found was squid-eating newborn, research reveals 2017-10-03T04:00:00Z It belongs to the group Ichthyosaurus communis, which was the first species of ichthyosaur to be recognised by science in 1821. Prehistoric reptile's last meal revealed 2017-10-03T04:00:00Z When the ichthyosaur lived, this region of India was covered by a tropical sea, which the 16-foot-long reptile prowled for its meals. Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India 2017-10-25T04:00:00Z During the age of the dinosaurs, the ocean was home to many types of ichthyosaur or ''sea dragon''. 'Sea dragon' fossil is 'largest on record' - BBC News 2017-08-28T04:00:00Z The seas at the time were also populated by a number of types of marine reptiles including long-necked plesiosaurs and dolphin-like ichthyosaurs. Crocodile rock: ancient beast named after Motörhead band's Lemmy 2017-08-09T04:00:00Z This is interesting, because previous studies on Stenopterygius, a similar ichthyosaur from Holzmaden, found that the young of that species fed exclusively on fish, before switching to a squid-rich diet as they matured. Smallest Ichthyosaurus ever found was squid-eating newborn, research reveals 2017-10-03T04:00:00Z In the two centuries leading up to 2000, researchers identified roughly 80 species of ichthyosaur and close relatives. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z “This is a fantastic discovery, and is by far the best ichthyosaur skeleton ever found in India,” says Steve Brusatte, a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh who wasn’t involved with the study. Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India 2017-10-25T04:00:00Z There might have also been dolphinlike marine reptiles called ichthyosaurs and schools of bony fish. After Earth’s Worst Mass Extinction, Life Rebounded Rapidly, Fossils Suggest 2017-02-16T05:00:00Z The seas at the time were also populated by a number of types of marine reptiles including long-necked plesiosaurs and dolphin-like ichthyosaurs. Crocodile rock: ancient beast named after Motörhead band's Lemmy 2017-08-09T04:00:00Z By contrast, a younger, early Cretaceous, ichthyosaur graveyard found in Chile shows large numbers of individuals, of all ages, thought to be hunting for fish and belemnites, and a regurgitation pellet containing pterosaur remains. Smallest Ichthyosaurus ever found was squid-eating newborn, research reveals 2017-10-03T04:00:00Z The work is also revealing the last chapters of the ichthyosaur story, which culminated with the animals’ extinction during the Upper Cretaceous, some 30 million years before dinosaurs disappeared. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z The team also found that the Indian ichthyosaur is closely related to group members found farther north—evidence of sea monster globalization. Stunning Jurassic 'Sea Monster' Found in India 2017-10-25T04:00:00Z The scientists hope the study will help increase understanding of how ichthyosaurs evolved during the Middle Jurassic Period. Skye's Storr Lochs Monster fossil unveiled in Edinburgh - BBC News 2016-09-05T04:00:00Z To the scientist’s surprise, Allan Gillies and his sisters contacted him several days later, after news stories highlighted Brusatte’s study of a different ichthyosaur.

Here’s how to find D.C.’s accidental museum of paleontology 2016-08-18T04:00:00Z "They're a type of reptile related to other reptiles like dinosaurs, crocodiles, ichthyosaurs and turtles for example, but actually we're not really sure where they fit in the grand scheme of things." The story of Eve the Jurassic sea monster - BBC News 2016-05-29T04:00:00Z For Allan Gillies, who was six years old when his father found the ichthyosaur, the fossil carries scientific—and personal—significance. Jurassic ‘Sea Monster’ Emerges From Scottish Loch The ichthyosaurs are a large group of marine reptiles that were common in the Jurassic and the Cretaceous periods. Fossil gives clues to extinction 250 million years ago - BBC News 2016-05-23T04:00:00Z Fischer and his colleagues estimate that the number of known ichthyosaur species was just as high during parts of the early Cretaceous as during spans of the Jurassic. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z "The abrupt yet staggered extinction of ichthyosaurs thus appears as just a facet of a much broader series of biotic events," the study says. Prehistoric Environmental Changes Killed Ichthyosaur 2016-03-09T05:00:00Z The researchers performed a thorough examination of the ichthyosaur fossil record, reconstructing the group's evolutionary diversity, and scrutinized evidence of climate change coinciding with their extinction. Mysterious extinction of prehistoric marine reptiles explained 2016-03-08T05:00:00Z The fossil beast from the Isle of Skye is the most complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur yet found in Scotland. Jurassic ‘Sea Monster’ Emerges From Scottish Loch The reptile is an early relative of the ichthyosaurs - a large group of marine reptiles that swam at the time of the dinosaurs. Fossil gives clues to extinction 250 million years ago - BBC News 2016-05-23T04:00:00Z He’s now looking at whether other marine predators during the Cretaceous followed the ichthyosaur pattern. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z During the age of the dinosaurs, the ocean was home to many types of ichthyosaur. Clues to why the 'sea dragons' died out - BBC News 2016-03-08T05:00:00Z The study showed that large mosasaurs in fact appeared only after ichthyosaurs went extinct. Mysterious extinction of prehistoric marine reptiles explained 2016-03-08T05:00:00Z For much of the time dinosaurs were lording over the land, sleek marine reptiles called ichthyosaurs were the masters of the sea. 'Ghost image' shows how ichthyosaur ruled the seas 2015-06-26T04:00:00Z The creature fills the gap in the fossil record between primitive marine reptiles and the more advanced ichthyosaurs, which dominated the oceans for millions of years. Fossil gives clues to extinction 250 million years ago - BBC News 2016-05-23T04:00:00Z Fischer is part of an ichthyosaur renaissance that is sweeping palaeontology. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z He realised that it was the 189 million year old remains of an ichthyosaur - an extinct marine reptile. Forgotten fossil is new species 2015-02-18T05:00:00Z Fischer said these changes likely altered ichthyosaur migratory routes, food availability and birthing places. Mysterious extinction of prehistoric marine reptiles explained 2016-03-08T05:00:00Z Taken together, the team concludes these features show ichthyosaurs were highly mobile predators with a keen sense of sight and smell. 'Ghost image' shows how ichthyosaur ruled the seas 2015-06-26T04:00:00Z It is not uncommon to find ichthyosaur fossils in England. Forgotten fossil is a new species 2015-02-18T05:00:00Z Today’s renaissance in ichthyosaur research is filling in the gaps, especially the fish-lizards’ origins. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z They identified several examples of extinct aquatic animals - known as ichthyosaurs - which lived during the Early to Middle Jurassic, including the entirely new species. New species of marine reptile found 2015-01-11T05:00:00Z Jonathan Bow, 34, discovered the ichthyosaur while walking the shoreline in the Penarth area. 7ft marine reptile fossil beach find 2014-12-19T05:00:00Z “We won’t find them because ichthyosaurs and their kin emerged from a group that was already strongly aquatic.” How the ichthyosaur got its fins 2014-11-05T05:00:00Z He realised it was the 189-million-year-old remains of an ichthyosaur - an extinct marine reptile. Forgotten fossil is a new species 2015-02-18T05:00:00Z The fossils show, for example, that ichthyosaurs originated in what is now the eastern part of south China. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z The key differences between this specimen and previously known ichthyosaurs set it up as the perfect amphibious intermediary. Newly discovered fossil could prove a problem for creationists Palaeontologist Cindy Howells, collections manager in the Department of Geology at National Museum Wales, described the ichthyosaur as a "potentially very, very important find" given it was complete. 7ft marine reptile fossil beach find 2014-12-19T05:00:00Z Reptiles first evolved on the land, but several groups later returned to the oceans, including the ichthyosaurs. How the ichthyosaur got its fins 2014-11-05T05:00:00Z "This great ichthyosaur cemetery, the way the remains are deposited, is unique," Christian Salazar, paleontologist researcher and natural history museum curator, said. Chilean scientists make huge fossil find 2014-06-04T04:00:00Z After their initial burst of evolution, ichthyosaurs went through some tough times. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z This single fossil hasn't revealed all of the ichthyosaurs' secrets. Newly discovered fossil could prove a problem for creationists Scientists found 46 specimens from four different species of extinct ichthyosaurs. Ichthyosaur Graveyard Discovered Beneath Chilean Glacier 2014-05-29T04:00:00Z As I said last time, this is “an intuitively pleasing discovery, given the similar gestalt of these often big, often especially long-snouted, long-flippered ichthyosaurs”. Cant get me enough of that sweet, sweet Temnodontosaurus 2014-01-30T22:43:19Z Appleby worked, on and off, for years on the Iraqi ichthyosaur. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z “The diversity of ichthyosaurs in the Cretaceous, in particular, is even higher than we ever thought it was”, says Fischer’s co-author Darren Naish, a vertebrate palaeontologist at the University of Southampton, UK. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z For example, the Early Triassic saw the appearance and radiation of ichthyosaurs at this time in higher latitudes. [Technical Response] Response to Comment on "Lethally Hot Temperatures During the Early Triassic Greenhouse" 2013-02-28T19:25:20.113Z Of the other major Mesozoic marine reptile groups, what about ichthyosaurs? Plesiosaurs and the repeated invasion of freshwater habitats: late-surviving relicts or evolutionary novelties? 2013-01-10T01:15:00.203Z Early Jurassic Europe had a fantastic ichthyosaur fauna. Cant get me enough of that sweet, sweet Temnodontosaurus 2014-01-30T22:43:19Z Cretaceous ichthyosaurs were not all members of the same single radiation after all. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z Their fossil fetched them £23, a substantial sum at the time, and inspired the first scientific paper3 devoted to ichthyosaurs. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z The creature, described online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was an early ichthyosaur, a four-footed reptile turned seafarer. ScienceShot: The First Sea Monster 2013-01-07T20:00:00Z In this article I want to briefly – yes, very, very briefly – rattle through the mostly marine, mostly long-snouted crocodyliforms that shared the Mesozoic seas with such other non-dinosaurs as the ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs. Awesome sea-going crocodyliforms of the Mesozoic 2012-10-10T02:45:09.060Z For previous Tet Zoo articles on ichthyosaurs, see… Cant get me enough of that sweet, sweet Temnodontosaurus 2014-01-30T22:43:19Z A new Lower Cretaceous ichthyosaur from Russia reveals skull shape conservatism within Ophthalmosaurinae. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z One of the early forms helping to fill in that gap is an animal that Motani calls “the most bizarre” early ichthyosaur ever seen, which he and his colleagues discovered in a Chinese limestone quarry5. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z A few years later, others reviewing the scientists' field notes learned of the unusual ichthyosaur teeth with two cutting edges. ScienceShot: The First Sea Monster 2013-01-07T20:00:00Z Against this giant jewel even Jules Verne’s middle-Earth mastodons and ichthyosaurs would be pretty thin gruel. Earth’s Core: The Enigma 1,800 Miles Below Us 2012-05-28T19:27:17Z One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks, and also of huge marine crocodiles, both of which were partial to ichthyosaur lunches. Ichthyosaurs and the bends: Triassic lark 2012-05-24T15:10:30Z A remarkable small ichthyosaur from the Upper Triassic of British Columbia, representing a new genus and species. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z Proper ichthyosaurs, which boast long snouts and kinked tails to distinguish them from their primitive forebears, appeared during the early Triassic and quickly took over their new environment. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z The basioccipital is typically a very important bone in ichthyosaur identification, and that of is no exception, possessing an unusual bilobed concavity on its dorsal surface. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z It seems the mystery of the ichthyosaur midden is far from solved. Kraken Versus Ichthyosaur: Let the Battle Commence 2011-10-12T00:15:05.920Z What Dr Rothschild particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs—which, like whales, were descended from terrestrial animals—adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150m years that they roamed the oceans. Ichthyosaurs and the bends: Triassic lark 2012-05-24T15:10:30Z He continued throughout the 1980s and 90s to get the issue resolved but never succeeded; other ichthyosaur projects occupied his time right up to his death in 2004. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z Then, according to Fischer’s analysis, a one-two punch hit the ichthyosaurs. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z Furthermore, Early Cretaceous ichthyosaurs were not rare, sorry stragglers of a previous Golden Age – we are learning that ophthalmosaurids, at least, were doing quite well at this time, with diversity and disparity being reasonably high. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z This disparity strongly suggests that the ichthyosaurs died at different times, not all at once, says McMenamin. Kraken Versus Ichthyosaur: Let the Battle Commence 2011-10-12T00:15:05.920Z If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression mechanism, then they clearly did so quickly—and, most peculiarly, they subsequently lost it. Ichthyosaurs and the bends: Triassic lark 2012-05-24T15:10:30Z The old idea that ichthyosaurs suffered an end-Jurassic extinction event is no longer supported by the data. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z Motani, for example, thinks that Fischer’s scenario is plausible, but he takes issue with the statistical methods that Fischer uses to date ichthyosaurs’ extinction. How giant marine reptiles terrorized the ancient seas 2017-03-28T04:00:00Z It’s also extremely interesting to see that ichthyosaurs remained very diverse until the bitter end. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z In McMenamin's purported midden, the kraken would play with the bones of the unfortunate ichthyosaurs, perhaps even arranging them into deliberate patterns. Kraken Versus Ichthyosaur: Let the Battle Commence 2011-10-12T00:15:05.920Z In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. Ichthyosaurs and the bends: Triassic lark 2012-05-24T15:10:30Z I finished the Tet Zoo Acamptonectes article by saying that more on this story is set to appear soon – more, that is, on the matter of ichthyosaur persistence into the Cretaceous. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z At sea, though, the most abundant reptiles were the ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs. Prehistoric reptiles: A loving mother 2011-08-10T18:18:00Z Within recent years, our views of Cretaceous ichthyosaur diversity have really changed a lot. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z Scientists thought that, in extinct reptiles, live birth was restricted to aquatic species, such as marine ichthyosaurs. Fossil is first pregnant lizard 2011-07-21T03:58:41Z Beyond that, however, what the fossil might mean for ichthyosaur behavior is unclear. Sea Monster Battle Preserved for the Ages 2011-05-05T22:30:52Z Cretaceous ichthyosaurs: dwindling diversity, or the Empire Strikes Back? Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z The last major fossil find in northern Alberta was a giant reptile called an ichthyosaur, which was found 10 years ago near Fort McMurray. Rare dinosaur found in Canada's oil sands 2011-03-25T17:24:24Z Our new paper adds to this story, for we describe another new Cretaceous ichthyosaur. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z Indeed, the name ichthyosaur means “fish lizard” and describes the streamlined body form that resembled large fish and sea mammals like dolphins. Remarkable Creatures: Now, a Little Respect for Extinct Monsters of the Deep 2010-03-22T22:24:00Z "Whatever bit this ichthyosaur wasn't trying to kill it, just hurt it," he says. Sea Monster Battle Preserved for the Ages 2011-05-05T22:30:52Z At this stage, the specimen became known to the only British scientist really interested in ichthyosaurs during the 1950s and 60s: Robert M. Appleby, then based at University College in Cardiff, Wales. Malawania from Iraq and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part II) 2013-05-15T00:45:01.290Z In 1811, she found a complete ichthyosaur, the first extinct animal known to science. 2010-02-02T05:47:00Z This might sound odd for an animal that swims with lateral movements of its vertical tail fin, but it’s an accentuated version of a trend seen in other thunnosaurian ichthyosaurs. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z There were iguanodons walking on the land, pterodactyls winging their way through the air, monitors and crocodiles in the rivers, and ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs in the ocean. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology What led one ichthyosaur to bite another on the snout is unknown. Sea Monster Battle Preserved for the Ages 2011-05-05T22:30:52Z And meanwhile, in a ring about the islet, not daring to come near for terror of the quicksand, crocodiles and alligators and ichthyosaurs, with upturned, gaping snouts, watched the struggle greedily. In the Morning of Time The gigantic ichthyosaurs, mesosaurs, and dinosaurs held dominion over the sea and land, and the monster flying reptile, the pterodactyl, over the air. Wealth of the World's Waste Places and Oceania This is particularly interesting in the context of Cretaceous ichthyosaur diversity since it shows that Ophthalmosaurinae was long-lived, and that it persisted until virtually the end of recorded ichthyosaur history. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z The pterodactyle might flit again through the air, the huge iguanodon reappear in the woods, and the ichthyosaurs swarm once more in the sea. Principles of Geology or, The Modern Changes of the Earth and its Inhabitants Considered as Illustrative of Geology Ay, and even so they leapt and fell, before a sail gleamed on the Severn sea, when the shark and the ichthyosaur paddled beneath the shade of tropic forests - now scanty turf and golden gorse. Prose Idylls, New and Old Indeed, for aught he knew, the old ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs might be alive now, as lions—or as men. Two Years Ago, Volume I The skin of the ichthyosaur was smooth like that of a whale, and its food was largely fish and cephalopods, as the fossil contents of its stomach prove. The Elements of Geology It's obvious that Cretaceous ichthyosaur diversity is now rather higher than previously thought. Rigid Swimmer and the Cretaceous Ichthyosaur Revolution (part I) 2012-01-03T23:45:00.273Z Buckland, I think, once indulged in the jeu d'esprit of supposing an ichthyosaur lecturing on the human skull.
