Example of how our perception of very different kinds of aquatic animals changed as more discoveries were made over the decades

Basilosaurus (cetacea) Paleogene / Elasmosaurus (Sauropterygia) Cretaceous / Mosasaurus (Squamata) Cretaceous

Many more examples in my videos dedicated to this topic

Limelight

Fingerpainted Ibispaint X,

Thur 21 Dec 2023

A lone megapterygius (newly discovered mosasaur) basks in the limelight while exploring an underwater cavern. A quick concept that I decided to blotch out for fun, I may attempt it again in the future

Todays not-so-random portfolio artwork is a lurking Platecarpus (I thought I'd stick with the Platecarpus theme).

Commissioned by the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, for their exhibition information boards.

Research alert! Imagine putting flippers on a 24-foot Komodo dragon. That’s how Amelia Zietlow, a Ph.D. student at the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School, describes Jormungandr walhallaensis, a newly identified species of mosasaur that was named in part after a sea serpent in Norse mythology.

Living some 80 million years ago during the Cretaceous, this mosasaur is thought to represent a transitional period between other well-known species. In addition to flippers and a stumpy, shark-like tail, Jormungandr had a bony ridge on its skull that would have given it the appearance of having “angry eyebrows.”

MONDAY'S MOLLUSC: Parapuzosia

This is Parapuzosia seppenradensis, the largest known species of ammonite in the world.

They are 1.8 m or 5.9 ft across and that that one wasn't even complete! The living chamber was missing a chunk so it's even bigger!

It lived during the Campanian Epoch of the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now Europe and North America where the Western Interior Seaway was located.

They were pelagic predators, probably feeding on fish,

squid,

other ammonites,

and even marine reptiles if they could catch them

all while evading adult mosasaurs who definitely had them on the menu.

Mosasaurus!

Late Cretaceous. 83-66MYA.

They were one of the first mesozoic animals to be given a name, beating the first named dinosaur Megalosaurus by 60 years! (1764 for the first named Mosasaurus, 1824 for Megalosaurus, the first named Dinosaur)
