A scene from the 165-160 million-year-old seas of the mid-Jurassic Oxford Clay Formation of what is now England, featuring two Leedsicthys problematicus, a lone Liopleurodon ferox, and a few ammonites…

…and a drawing of two cat-sized T.rex hatchlings running up to their big, protective momma, inspired in part by the unexpectedly recent discovery of baby Tyrannosaurus made by Nick Longrich and colleagues made over a month or so after I did a previous illustration of an adult with her hatchlings. Baby Tyrannosaurus were capable of fending themselves right after hatching, occasionally feeding off of whatever their parents have brought for them, and the size of their prey changed as they grew in size.

Two Cryptoclidus oxoniensis lovingly chase and play with each other around in the warm, shallow seas of what will one day represent the Oxford Clay of Cambridgeshire, England, 165 million years ago.

A huge 6-meter-long Liopleurodon ferox ambushes an unfortunate juvenile Cryptoclidus and camps its toothy jaws upon the small plesiosaur’s head 160 million years ago in the warm, shallow seas of what is now the Oxford Clay Formation of England.

My 11th entry for Jurassic July 2023: A Temnodontosaurus platyodon chases a Hybodus shark 180 million years ago in the Early Jurassic seas of what is now Western Europe. The 10-11 meter-long Temnodontosaurus was the top predator of the Early Jurassic seas that covered much of Western Europe 200-175 million years ago.

My 8th entry for Jurassic July 2023: Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus, the iconic type genus of the plesiosauria which lived 199-175 million years ago in the Early Jurassic seas of what is now England.
