Ashby, J. 2022. Platypus Matters: the Extraordinary Story of Australian Mammals. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago. Baryonychines in sympatry? So… three baryonychine taxa in the Wealden? Well, why not? For starters, Baryonyx walkeri, Ceratosuchops inferodios and Riparovenator milnerae are not demonstrably sympatric. They might all be Barremian in age, but the Barremian was four million years long and none of these dinosaurs are demonstrably from the same horizon. In addition, Baryonyx is from a different sedimentary basin from the one that yields Riparovenator and Ceratosuchops ( Barker et al. 2021). Godfrey, S. J. 1984.

What happened at the end of day 1, after the drinks reception? I have no idea but I remember waking up in a taxi at some point during the night. Sales, M. A. F. & Schultz, C. L. 2017.

For reasons unknown to me, this collaboration has not continued. You would barely be able to tell from the cover, though, as the design and fonts are identical.

Yes, today see the publication of my new book Ancient Sea Reptiles ( Natural History Museum in the UK; Smithsonian Books in the USA), and getting it published marks a major personal achievement. I’ve been trying for years to get such a book off the ground, but it’s the success of Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved (Naish & Barrett 2016) that’s allowed things to go forward. I can’t express how pleased I am that things have finally worked out.Distribution of landmasses, mountainous regions, shallow seas, and deep ocean basins during Late Cretaceous time. Included in the paleogeographic reconstruction are cold and warm ocean currents. The present-day coastlines and tectonic boundaries of the configured continents are shown in the inset at the lower right. A French language book – La Mer au Temps des Dinosaures, by Nathalie Bardet, Alexandra Houssaye, Stéphane Jouve and Peggy Vincent – appeared while I was writing Ancient Sea Reptiles. I haven’t yet seen a copy and an unaware of how comprehensive it is.
