I’m very sorry to be so late. Today, I’ll write about Mesozoic animals.
Archelon ischyros is the biggest sea turtle ever lived. It looks easy that a man can ride on.

Shape and thickness of ammonites’ shells are different and some of them are quite unique. these difference were made by difference of their own environment or depth of water.
This squid is seen its soft body perfectly. it has hooks in place of suckers on its tentacles.
Right: Radiolites sp.
Hippuritesgosauienens and Radiolites sp. are look like cups, but their interiors are not big.
Elasmosaurid plesiosaur has very long neck. it is the longest sea reptile in the museum.
Pterosaurs have variety of beaks. these difference were made by their own food.
Lotosaurus adentus has no tooth so it was a herbivore. it had a “sail” on the back.
Shansisuchus shansisuchus‘s name is quite unique as the scientific name of prehistoric animal. I have never heard such names of other prehistoric lives.
Thank you for reading! Next time, I’ll write about Cenozoic animals.
