Elasmosaurus > Electrasmosaurus
heteromeles has an interesting take on the long neck morphology of Elasmosaurus. I think it’s a cool example of speculative sketching and note that the figures are sketched out (not so sure how I’d react to carefully worked out, detailed illustrations of the idea). I like the way he proposes the idea, lays out argumentation and clearly states what stage of knowledge lies behind each of the arguments. A good read.

Not to be too nick picky (well okay I am
) that’s a Tanystropheus not an Elasmosaur. He’s a Triassic critter.
Otherwise cool little pic

I should have caught that. Thanks!
