Ichthyosauria

'Ichthyosauria – long fish shaped reptiles with a long thin snout lined with sharp teeth, the ichthyosaur is characterised by very large eyes. This Mesozoic reptile evolved into a highly specialised predator with a rapid swimming style and keen eyes.'

This is a place to hold some of my musings - mostly about palaeontology. I’m not one of the many knowledgeable geologists/palaeontologists who post blogs so I expect to drawl on about things that have amused me.

David Attenborough's Life Stories

I'm really enjoying the repeat of David Attenborough's Life Stories on radio 4. Its a long series and I keep missing them but the stories of his fossiling past are fascinating. This weeks is about an excentric naturalist (among other things) Squire Waterton. It's also available as a podcast.
