A few more close zooms into my reconstruction of the "sea-rex," a Jurassic pliosaur. Here we see the smaller sea-rex and some Thrissops fish. This piece was commissioned by The Etches Collection.

My first ideas to the finished "sea-rex" artwork; commissioned by The Etches Collection, which is where the spectacular pliosaur's skull is exhibited. Also pictured is a smaller "sea-rex" and Thrissops fish.

It's marine reptile Thursday!
Here's my digital painting of the giant #ichthyosaur, #Temnodontosaurus, or, as BBC News called it, the " #SeaDragon Dinosaur Dolphin." This is the 10m long Rutland specimen (Larkin et al 2023).

It's marine reptile Wednesday!
Here's an acrylic painting from 2021, depicting a #Cretoxyrhina (top left), Squalicorax (#sharks, bottom right), & two #Tylosaurus (juvenile left, adult right). This was a private commission.

I redid the Keyser Park photoshop from a few years back with the life-sized #inflatable #pliosaur but at 9.25m (30'4") since that pushes right up against the limits...hopefully this can be finished next spring build with the other two #mesozoic #marinereptiles.
A photo of an inflatable pliosaur and mosasaur, with the pliosaur edited to be life-sized. The pliosaur looks very round.

Grateful for the chance to present my #marinereptiles research at both #EAVP2025 and #SEB2025 over the past weeks.

Huge thanks to the organisers, and all my coauthors for their support and guidance!

Looking forward to the next conferences!

The Life of Mesozoic Sea Dragons
The ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and other marine reptiles of the Mesozoic were amazing predators. New analytical methods are helping palaeontologists to extract enormous amounts of new information from the fossils, and to use this to work out their modes of life (how they swam, what their diets were

Happy #FossilFriday! #Plesiosaurs, unlike many other #marinereptiles, swam through the water using 4 large flippers. This required massive muscles, and big shoulder and hip bones for those muscles. These bones are visible on #MOR995, the partial skeleton of a plesiosaur.

Paleontologists identified new elasmosaur Traskasaura sandrae from 85My-old BC fossils. Its unique crushing teeth reveal specialized feeding, filling a gap in marine reptile evolution.

Mystery of 'very odd' elasmosaur finally solved: One of North America's most famous fossils identified as new species
A group of fossils of elasmosaurs—some of the most famous in North America—have just been formally identified as belonging to a "very odd" new genus of the sea monster, unlike any previously known.
