Cool art of Albertonectes hunting in the mud. This huge plesiosaur was about 11m long, with 7m for the neck alone! Bottom-living preys shells, like bivalves and snails, have been found in the stomach contents of other elasmosaurs (ex. Australia), so the behavior depicted by Mark is not unlikely.

As we're all taught, you can (usually) only directly date the age of a rock if it cooled from lava. But here, scientists have dated dinosaur eggs, using uranium-lead ratios in the calcite. Hugely exciting, maybe groundbreaking. My take @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

science.org

Scientists directly date dino eggshells for the first time

The new findings narrow age estimates for the clutch of eggs—and may help identify which species laid them
