Result from the Burgess Shale #paleostream!
This piece turned into one of the busiest yet, and yet we only scratch the surface here! Burgess Shale is a fossil bearing deposit high up in the Canadian Rockies and is sometimes called the "most important fossil locality of all time"

@AvenaKyle @dinoalive @_dinomelaye @TM9380 @jwlivetour @AMNH @Indominus_44 @ArminReindl @Hiro_DinoPaleo @Dinosaurlive Genuinely what the hell is this, how dare you spit on the legacy of Bartlett with this ai generated bullshit

@PPaleoartist @JoschuaKnuppe Exactly, the amount of times they completely gloss over information they themselves stated earlier is comically bad
English
@JoschuaKnuppe the authors suggesting mosasaur hunting after concluding a durophagous diet when, as you brought up, 'pelagic durophagous predator' was such a readily available and common niche during the mesozoic was so odd to me, it's unecessarily sensationalist with no respect to parsimony

Ok, lets have a look at this: Over the last few days a new paper in Science has led to MANY discussions in the paleo community and it appears to have breached containment into the wider world, judging by headlines and google results.

@JoschuaKnuppe Really nice thread Josch, honestly I feel like it’s more exciting to have another example of durophagous radiation during the Mesozoic, especially from such an unlikely source as a cirrate.
English
@EmuLarge Honestly given the wear on the upper beak, and the Durophagous diet put forth by the new paper, it would be awesome if more people reconstructed this guy latching onto and cracking open ammonites and inocermaids, we do see this in other coleoids inflicting injuries onto ammonites

Because people think bigger animals can eat anything smaller than them.
I’m going to take this opportunity to hold everybody’s hand and remind them that most large mesopelagic cephalopods have paper thin skin and low metabolisms.

Why is it always shown with a mosasaur?

And of course, because we only have a (very large) upper beak from this species, this piece is extremely speculative, well except for the poor ammonite snack, that seems likely.
English
A Nanaimoteuthis haggarti manages to ambush an unlucky Eupachydiscus, crushing the ammonites shell with its beak.
Wanted to jump onto the octopus bandwagon while also trying to not show it hunting a mosasaur like some eldritch leviathan

Locking the issues brough by the data and methodology... history is going to repeat itself again
