Monstrocrinus incognatus, a Middle #Devonian #crinoid from #Brazil, Europe and (ambiguously) Algeria. Their characteristic spines are hypothesised to have server anti-predation, hydrodynamics and ✨Aesthetic✨purposes...

Lacusovagus pterosaur with speculative display structure.

Many pterosaurs have huge openings on their skulls which, had been found on other groups such as dinosaurs, most certainly would have been reconstructed as inflatable "air sacs".

New species of ammonite from Italy, Hybopeltoceras olorizin. The shell of this mollusc would be more or less the size of a coffee table.
