🐟Here's a ferocious fossil fish for #FossilFriday: Xiphactinus audax. It lived during the Late Cretaceous some 85 million years ago. Xiphactinus and its relatives were large predators with strong jaws and many teeth. 🌊It swam in the great inland sea that covered most of North America at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. Pictured is a skeleton cast that’s suspended from the ceiling of the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins—and a fossil specimen of this fish is on display in a case beneath it. The Museum is open daily from 10 am–5:30 pm. Plan your trip! Photo: E.

This pin Ichthyosaur pin was designed by @thestory137 / @ginger_aside Did you know this, like so many ancient creatures, isn't a species but a genus? Did you know it isn't a dinosaur? Ichthyosaurs were once a common creatures. Species ranged in size from small at a few feet long, to massive! Up to 69 feet in the fossil record. That's not just big That's up there with the biggest things that have ever lived on Earth. Ours here is mirrored with their skeleton. And that skeleton... glows in the 👀 Remember to check our Kamren's kickstarter for his new pin! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kamrenreed/drag-o-lantern #ichthyosaur #marinelife #marinereptile #notdinosaurs #ancientocean #ancientearth #skeleton #vultureculture #skeletonpin #reptile #glowinthedarkpin #glowpin #dinosaurpins #dinosaurs #jurassicpark #jurassic #cretacious #triassic #paleopins #paleoart (at Scribbles Art Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDiAzJvim_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
