This Sleleton is the best & most complete of its kind. While alive, this bird was no larger than an average pigeon. (This species lived approx. 80 million years ago.)
Found in Lane County, Ks
By Greg Winkler
The first remains of a toothed bid from the Smoky Hill Chalk were collected from Rooks County in the summer of 1872 by Professor Benjamin F. Mudge, then a professor at the Kansas State Agricultural Collage (KSAC, now Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS0. Later S. W. Williston, once a student of Mudge's would note "that Professor Mudge found the remarkable specimen of Ichthyormis, (near) the North Fork of the Solomon, which furnished to the world the discovery of the then startling fact of birds with genuine teeth."
Williston (1898) also provided the following story of what had occurred: "An incident related to me by Professor Mudge in connection with this specimen is of interest. He had been sending his vertebrate fossils previously to Professor Cope for determination. Learning through Professor Dana that Professor Marsh, who as a boy had been an acquaintance of Professor Mudge, was interested in these fossils, he changed the address upon the box containing the bird specimen after he had made it ready to send to Professor Cope, & sent it instead to Professor Marsh. Had Professor Cope received the box, he would have been the first to make known to the world the discovery of "Birds with Teeth."
Notice of a New & Remarable Fossil Bird;
by O. C. Marsh
One of the most interesting of recent discoveries in Paleontology is the skeleton of a fossil bird, found during the past summer, in the upper Cretaceous shale of Kansas, by Prof. B. F. Mudge, who has kindly sent the specimen to me for examination. The remains indicate an aquatic bird, about as large as a pigeon, & differing widely from all known birds in having biconcave vertebrae. The cervical, dorsal, & caudal vertebrae preserved all show this character, the ends of the centra resembling those in Plesiosaurus. The rest of the skeleton presents no marked deviation from the ordinary avian type. The wings were large in proportion to the posterior extremities. The humerus is 58.6mm. in length, & has the radial crest strongly developed. The femur is small, & has the proximal end compressed transversely. The tibia is slender, & 44.5 long. Its distal end is incurved, as in swimming birds, has no supratendinal ridge. This species may be called Ichthyormis dispar. A complete description will appear in an early number of this journal.

Professor Lidenbrock, Axel and Hans are on their way to the center of the earth. But the road is not so calm.
"Suddenly, at no great distance from us, an enormous mass rises out of the waters—the head of the great Plesiosaurus. The terrible monster is now wounded unto death. I can see nothing now of his enormous body. All that could be distinguished was his serpent-like neck, which he twisted and curled in all the agonies of death. Now he struck the waters with it as if it had been a gigantic whip, and then again wriggled like a worm cut in two. The water was spurted up to a great distance in all directions. A great portion of it swept over our raft and nearly blinded us. But soon the end of the beast approached nearer and nearer; his movements slackened visibly; his contortions almost ceased; and at last the body of the mighty snake lay an inert, dead mass on the surface of the now calm and placid waters.
As for the Ichthyosaurus, has he gone down to his mighty cavern under the sea to rest, or will he reappear to destroy us?" Jules Verne.

Hey guys! This is Satoshi Kamiya's Plesiosaurus. I am very fond of this model! It's so fun to fold! I folded this guy with Tissue foil. I hope you like it ;)

so this is it! another tiny arachnid from the carboniferous! it was, again, only 1.5 - 2 cm long.
this is one interesting beast, the scientists had to create a special order (and family, for that matter) for this single species!
the thing that attracted me the most was the name, which is not unlike "plesiosaurus" right? =)
the name means "close to Siro" (Siro is a name of a prehistoric harvestman), because it was previously believed that it was a close relative of harvestmen, but its ventral anatomy suggests, that it was much closer to whip spiders and whip scorpions. it, indeed, had pedipalps suitable for grabbing and immobilizing prey and first pair of walking legs adapted as sensory organs, but in contrast with whip spiders and whip scorpions, the legs weren't thin and whip-like entirely, but they rather have only a whip-like tarsus. this anatomical feature gave name to the order, as haptopoda means "delicate foot."
Plesiosiro had latigrade legs (such type of legs have scorpions for example), that means, that the hinges of the legs allow the prolateral/anterior/frontal side of the legs to be visible when the creature is viewed from above. such legs can be retracted very close to the body, which allows the creature to hide in very narrow spaces (scorpions do so for protection) and the small size of plesiosiro makes it really easy to believe that it could hide in DAMN narrow gaps! =D
in addition, the critter was quite flat overall, which made it really easy to shape, as there was no difficulty with adding volume at all =D
i know it looks very similar to the previous one, but the CP looks nothing like it, the CP looks very stuffed in, as there were too many thing to be crammed in a tiny place.
lately, it only rarely happenned that making a working CP was a problem, but this one gave me an exceptional puzzle to solve, so i hope you'll like it!
this time from a slightly bigger square (i was better in trimming the paper to a regular square shape this time), but the finished result is still smaller than the previous model, because it has shorter abdomen =D
43 by 43 cm square, 48 by 48 grid
NOTE: i'll post CPs of this and the previous model in one picture soon, so you can compare. ;-)

Today we went for a wander along to the Warren in Folkestone to dig up a few dinosaurs !
The coastline between Folkestone and Dover exposes rocks of Cretaceous age (142-65 million years old), including two rock exposures of particular importance. The series of cliff sections at the western end of the site, with some 50m of Folkestone Beds (Lower Greensand) and Gault, represents the most important single locality for studying these rocks in England.
The Gault Clay exposures in East Wear Bay yield beautifully preserved fossils, including ammonites, bivalves and crabs and have also produced the fossilised remains of a number of types of marine reptiles including turtles, ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurus and pliosaurs.

here is my second attempt from a 25 cm square of speckled lokta!
you gotta love the results when used for simpler lizardy things! it gives such a nice impression of skin! =) (but it hides the details on the photos...)
this time with a dorsal fin, diagonally symetric and closedback! =)
I took this photo in Second life - Prehistorica - the Dawn Kingdoms.

It's meant to be folded from two pages of a book with silver rectangle proportioned paper (or at least pretty close to it). The dotted line on the CP represents where the two pages meet the spine of the book. It can also be folded out of a single sheet of silver rectangle proportioned paper.

Emerging from the murky depths of a the prehistoric ocean, an aquatic monster swims towards you. Its long neck swivels to reveal a mouth full of vicious spike shaped teeth as it gives you a glance. Perhaps this underwater beast is trying to decide if you are prey. Rays of sunshine slice through the water and illuminate the sea floor in the shallow waters revealing that there is little room for you to escape.
You have entered the realm of the styxosaurus, a plesiosaur from the Cretaceous period. This 30 to 40 foot long aquatic reptile once swam the ocean in the time of the dinosaurs. It was part of the elasmosaurus family, plesiosaurs known for their long necks.
With my beach vacation only a week away I was thinking of the ocean and was inspired to do an aquatic scene. Having also done a lot of paleoart lately, I decided on a prehistoric beast. I really like the way the length of the styxosaurus works with the distance in the water to make it fade into the murk. In fact, I like the way this one turned out so much that it became my new desktop wallpaper.
