Fossilized Vomit Reveals How Plesiosaurs Dined on Jurassic Seafloor
feeding Jurassic Plesiosauria Plesiosaurus
Dr. Dirk Knaust, a geologist with the Norwegian energy company Equinor ASA, has identified plesiosaur regurgitalites -- the technical term for fossilized vomit -- from preserved in rock cores drilled beneath the North Sea, offering a rare window into how these long-necked marine reptiles fed in the Middle and Late Jurassic seas.

Impressive Prehistoric Animal Sand Art
Dinosauria Plesiosauria Spinosauria
At Everything Dinosaur, we are always delighted to see how prehistoric animals inspire creativity. Recently, we received some amazing prehistoric animal sand art created by a talented young artist Caldey. Caldey used sand to create two wonderful prehistoric-themed sculptures. The artwork featured a graceful plesiosaur and a spectacular Spinosaurus. These fantastic creations demonstrate how dinosaurs
