Here’s one of our favourite marine reptile fossils, prepared by our friend 🦕The preparation process for this fossil took a few hundred hours (some take even more 😨😳), so whilst my dad was busy working on some of our fossils at home, our good friend Howard removed the stone from this magnificent fossil for us, that’s what friends are for right! 😜🤩 Can you tell which marine reptile this is a fossil of?

At first, scientists thought it was a gigantic marine reptile. 🦴 #fossil #ancientwhale #basilosaurus #evolution | NOVA l PBS

The Original Sea Monster 🌊 Not a dinosaur, but a marine reptile that ruled the oceans 66 million years ago. Elasmosaurus had a neck so long it couldn't even lift it completely out of the water like a swan. Evolution got weird in the deep. #Elasmosaurus #MarineReptile #OceanLife #Prehistoric #SeaMonster #Thalassophobia | WildLens Chronicles
