Plant fossils can wait. I'm fond of the fact that this short film briefly gave its take on how Einiosaurus would have fought.

Dakosaurus andiniensis, the shortest-snouted sea-croc and one of my favorite fossils everrrr And Geosaurus, first named as an unusually large species of modern Lacerta in 1816, it was an emblematic fossil animal during paleontology's early history throughout the 19th century
The last whopping TWO Avatars are female, wh- [walks away with hands up in the air, verbally reminding myself this is a blue check]
oh yeah have this even more gigantic metriorhynchid indet. individual (referred to as aff. Plesiosuchus sp. based on size and coeval-ness)
Literally Miguel 🇻🇪@literallymiguel.bsky.social · last mo.Plesiosuchus! a robust, giant sea-croc, among the largest known (as usual for metris, its skull has never been properly restored in lateral view) large, closely-packed teeth & lack of occlusal pits for them show they didn't interlock like a gharial as usual, but more orca-like
Ambush! During a warm sunrise on eocene Europe a large Iberosuchus surprises a duo of small Lophiodontid mammals Painted here in the moment the croc uses the inertia of the attack and strong neck muscles to raise the creature up, before crashing it down on the soil to subdue it
Our new paper on the palaeoecology of the Tinguiririca fauna is out today in Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments! doi.org/10.1007/s125... (Palaeoart by @literallymiguel.bsky.social)
i dont trust finite element analyses for absolute values instead of comparative ones, cuz according to one of them, the animal on the bottom has a stronger posterior biteforce than the one at the top
The contrast is hilarious side-to-side
Literally Miguel 🇻🇪@literallymiguel.bsky.social · 2d agoPelagosaurus typus The basalmost known metriorhynchoid, small piscivorous pursuer, sea noodle, very numerous in specimens (a 2006 thesis listed 88 specimens, with even more being figured since then), and yes the arms were that tiny. One specimen shows a gnarly healed broken jaw
Over a week ago I was directed to this video of a gharial crushing a turtle in its jaws. ...Yes, you read that right. A GHARIAL. www.reddit.com/r/Crocodiles...

Two cockatiels taking off in flight. They were previously perched on two dinosaur toys - an Allosaurus and a Stegosaurus. The Allosaurus has fallen because of the cockatiel taking off from it.
