Ancient sea monsters surface from the depths in new exhibition – Brisbane Times
The Queensland Museum exhibition will feature dozens of specimens of ancient marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, many from Queensland.
“Its great from a Queensland perspective, there is such a rich fossil record here from that time period, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs in particular,” he said.
“So this shows not just how rich Queensland is as a state when it comes to these type of fossils but also what the Queensland Museum is doing for research in the field to take advantage of new technologies.”
Mosasaurs were one of the apex predators of the ancient seas, even eating the large sharks which existed at the time.
