Guestbook

Due to problems with the old guestbook, I have launched a new one:

A note for visitors - to combat spammers, I review all entries before accepting them and I wont post any irrelevant ads or cryptic comments. Thanks - I appreciate everyone who takes the time to comment!

Visit the new Guestbook  

I can now reply to posts in the new guest book so I will not repost entries here. I will, however, retain the current page to display all of the old guestbook entires, and to display a new 'Frequently Asked Questions' section (coming soon).

Old entries (most recent first) My comments are in blue.

Searched for plesiosaur and found you. Is this what Nessie is? And learnt what a mugu is too!!!

Yeah, I learned a lot about scamming through running this guest book. Unfortunately, a lot of the traffic to my site is related to this - thats why I no longer put emails on this page. Hopefully this will stop scammers from harvesting genuine emails and from scam baiters spreading theirs.

Nessie is supposed to be a plesiosaur according to believers - however, all of the science indicates that this is very unlikely and that if there is a monster it is probably a large fish and almost certainly not a plesiosaur.

Comments: what is it with pleisosaurs. dont you like stegosaurus or triceratops. are they just too common for you.

Ha! Good question! I like dinosaurs as much as the next person, just see my dinosaur artwork page if you need evidence. So no - dinosaurs are not too common at all (in terms of number of fossils, marine reptiles are much more common than dinosaurs but thats a different story). However, in many respects plesiosaurs are more interesting than dinosaurs. They have no living descendants (dinosaurs have birds) and their body plan has no analogues (long necked, four-flippered predators!?). This mysticism originally drew me towards plesiosaurs. My specialisation in plesiosaurs was a conscious decision made in my undergraduate days. I originally wanted to work on dinosaurs as a kid, but there is already a huge amount of research into dinosaurs (and there must be hundreds of websites). In contrast, the profile of plesiosaurs needed raising, they have received very little study, and the number of good websites and books can be counted on one hand. Yet the more I research, the more questions emerge. Plesiosaurs are just fascinating animals...

comments: This is quite an informative site. I wonder how many descendants of these fascinating animals exist in the sea today!

None as far as is known. Yes, the ocean is a big place, and yes, there are sightings of living plesiosaurs and plesiosaur carcasses today. But all of these have been confirmed to be dead basking sharks, whales, or hoaxes - if we found a real plesioaur body, there would be no doubt. Also remember that plesiosaurs breathed air and must have frequented the surface, therefore it is not possible for them to live an illusive life, like, say, the giant squid. There is also the lack of their fossil remains in rocks spanning the last 65 million years. I would be very surprised if any plesiosaur descendants are alive today -to believe that there are is special pleading backed up by no scientific evidence. But as the saying goes, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

comments: Does anyone stil believe that the dinosaurs were kille doff by a meteorite?

Good evidence indicates that a meteorite collided with the Earth at the end of the age of the dinosaurs - this certainly affected the biota of the time and probably contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs, and the plesiosaurs amongst many other groups. the question is, what extent did the impact have - were dinosaurs already on the way out, what other environmental changes were going on at the time? This area is still under research.

comments: I live near Kingsport and they found one of those dinasours in our dam.

I am interested in your report, I would be interested in seeing any photographs! Although they may look (and the name sounds) like dinosaurs, plesiosaurs are not, they are a distinct group of reptiles, far removed from the dinosaurs. I like to use another group of reptiles far removed from dinosaurs to help explain this, the turtles. Plesiosaurs are not dinosaurs in the same way that turtles are not dinosaurs. If turtles were extinct like the plesiosaurs they would undoubtedly also be shoe-horned into the nominal category 'dinosaur' - the popular definition seeming to be "any large prehistoric reptile". But they are not considered dinosaurs because they are living. The point is that plesiosaurs are often considered dinosaurs simply because they are prehistoric, and therefore unusual to us, but this has no bearing on the biological affinities of the group. If they were alive today, then they would rightly be appreciated by the whole world (and not just palaeontologists) as having status of their own, as do turtles. End of whinge.

Sorry, looks like you were cut short - there is a word limit for guest book entries. The most popular candidates for terrestrial ancestors of sauropterygians lie among the diapsid reptile group Younginidae. Plesiosaur origins lie within stem-group sauropterygians.

comments: I have a question... wich one is the weirdest of all plesiosaurs? Could you show me a picture of that animal?

Weirdness is always relative. The most unusual plesiosaur relative to all other animals today must be Elasmosaurus because of the crazy length of the neck, but as plesiosaurs go, this is a pretty normal example. With regard to other plesiosaurs, there is a group sometimes called the 'southern weirdos' which includes the plesiosaur Kaiwhekea - this is unusual in that it has hundreds of tiny teeth and eyes at the very front of the skull - for me this is the weirdest plesiosaur! There are pictures of both genera on their respective webpages.

By the sounds of things, you are either a very dedicated fossil hunter, or very lucky! (A sauropod tooth in your sandpit! - well done). I would be happy to help identify any of your plesiosaur bones, although this is no easy task in itself. Keep up the good work, And I will be glad to hear from you if you make any further discoveries.

comments: how about an alphabetical list of all marine reptiles(also the mosasaurs),containing length and other information on them?

Maybe some time, in the distant future...but there is so much plesiosaur information still missing. I will finish that first.

comments: I like the picture of the Scelidosaurus! Is it the same one you did for commision from the Television people?

You again! Yes, I created this illustration at the request of Dr Dave Martill who was advising on a show about a new specimen that challenges our current knowledge of Scelidosaurus. I didn't get any money from it and channel 4 didn't even use the image. never mind!

comments: Ooooh, it's grown! VERY professional, and I love the autobiography. I do however feel that Occitanosaurus could do with some more details though.......

Yes, the site is fraught with bad links missing pages and missing data. This is constantly being sorted out, the Occitanosaurus page now contains information! If you see any more errors, let me know.

comments: Well done Adam maybe you could put something in about the dinosaur from jurassic park 3! See you soon maybe!

Sorry but the site is exclusively for sauropterygia (except for the dinosaur illustration gallery of course!) There are loads of other good sites where you can find out about Jurassic Park dinosaurs.

comments: Very Good! I like most of the pictures, but isn't the back of the Baryonyx a bit high? It looks as if it has a stubby sail in the style of Suchomimus, so maybe you could re-label it?

Thanks, as for the illustration in question, its a hump! I think Baryonyx and Suchomimus are very similar, both had this character, and some consider them synonyms. The restoration was based on the Baryonyx skeleton so I don't see the need to rename the picture.
