Could a Cetiosaurus Have Left the Longest Sauropod Trackway?
Bathonian Cetiosauria Dinosauria Jurassic Middle Jurassic +2
Recently, we published a post highlighting the on-going research into the remarkable Oxfordshire "dinosaur highway".  A limestone quarry preserves the remains of numerous dinosaur tracks.  The tracks are preserved in strata laid down in the Middle Jurassic.  Palaeontologists estimate that the trackways are around 166 million years old (Bathonian faunal stage).  In a recent radio

This crocodile ran like a greyhound across prehistoric Britain 200 million years ago
fossil new species Triassic United Kingdom
A newly discovered Triassic reptile from the UK looked more like a racing greyhound than a crocodile, built for speed on land. With long legs and a lightweight body, it hunted small animals in a dry, upland environment millions of years ago. Scientists identified it as a new species after spotting key differences in its fossils. It’s also a tribute to an inspiring teacher who helped spark a future scientist’s curiosity.

190-million-year-old “Sword Dragon” fossil rewrites ichthyosaur history
evolution fossil Ichthyosauria Jurassic skeleton +1
A newly identified ichthyosaur from the UK’s Jurassic Coast is rewriting part of the prehistoric playbook. Nicknamed the “Sword Dragon of Dorset,” the three-meter-long marine reptile lived during a poorly understood window of evolution when major ichthyosaur groups were disappearing and new ones emerging. Its beautifully preserved skeleton — complete with a blade-like snout and possible last meal — helps pinpoint when this dramatic transition occurred.
