🌊Where to find #Jurassic rocks in #England ?

During the Jurassic shallow waters covered England from Wessex, through the Midlands, all the way to Yorkshire 👇

#FossilFriday : the carapace of Venipagurus mariae, a hermit crab from the Lower #Lias at Black Ven, Lyme Regis, described and named by the late Joe Collins in 2011, genus name derived from Black Ven and species name honouring #MaryAnning . Holotype and paratype Natural History Museum.

Richly deserved -I was lucky enough to spend time in the field with him as a Ph.D student, and in addition to his *numerous* scientific contributions and tireless outreach efforts, @NHM_Bryozoa is a committed mentor and one of the nicest and kindest people in paleontology

For #FossilFriday , a new ichthyosaur to science from the U.K., and might be the biggest ever (discovered to date),

Icthyotitan!!

it's the Triassic and described by Dr Dean Lomax and co authors including the father-daughter duo who discovered it !! 🎉

Very grateful to the Palaeontographical Society for awarding me their biennial medal in recognition of my contributions to taxonomic and systematic palaeontology. My thanks go to all those who put me forward for this honour.

So well-deserved NHM_Bryozoa ! Paul has also taught and inspired many palaeontologists and evolutionary biologists, myself included! Can't wait to do more analyses and field work with you NHM_Bryozoa

Honoured to receive this years Richard Owen award and looking forward to going to visit various dinos across the southwest of the UK
