A dinosaur perk was that worn teeth got replaced. A section of the lower jaw of a big iguanodontian from the #IsleofWight shows the process. Tooth replacement was organised in waves known as Zahnreihen, so that large sections of the jaw weren’t left toothless (enlarge to see numbers). #FossilFriday

For #FossilFriday a small #IsleofWight iguanodontian dinosaur tibia in the collections @nhm-london.bsk.social. What makes it special is that it is from the Gideon Mantell collection. The fossil takes me back 125 million years but its history casts me back to the 1820s.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ & welcome to a chilly Isle Of Wight taken deep in the Autumn months one year. Have a calming start to the week friends ☺️ #ECK #BlueSkyMonday #Calming #Photography #CoastalPhotography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #IsleOfWight #LeadingLines #BlueTones #Autumn #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Fall

Our photograph captures a quiet, atmospheric coastal scene on the Isle of Wight, taken on a cold autumn day beneath a heavy, overcast sky.

A long, weathered wooden pier stretches from the lower left of the image towards the distant horizon on the right. Its sturdy supports descend into the dark, gently rippling seawater.

The pier's sides are reinforced with a repeating pattern of diagonal wooden beams, creating a series of striking triangular shapes.

Small, traditional lamp posts line its upper edge, adding a touch of character to the old structure.

At the far end of the pier, a small pavilion or shelter stands above the water. A flag flutters nearby, suggesting a gentle coastal breeze.

Beyond it, the calm sea extends towards a low, distant horizon, where the water meets the muted grey-blue sky.

The sky occupies much of the photograph, filled with layers of dark, brooding clouds.

Soft, diffused light filters through the cloud cover, giving the scene a cool, blue-grey colour palette that reinforces the feeling of autumnal chill and solitude.

In the foreground, the tide has receded to reveal a rocky shoreline. Dark seaweed, wet stones, and patches of glistening sand cover the lower right portion of the image.

The water laps quietly around the pier's wooden supports.

The mood is one of quiet reflection and coastal solitude.

The aged pier leads the eye towards the distant shelter and open sea, creating a sense of journey, while the cold light and restless clouds evoke the raw, peaceful beauty of an autumn day by the water.

And finally, our picture today is finished with a simple white border frame.

A posterior view of an incomplete braincase of a large iguanodontian dinosaur allowing a peek through the foramen magnum into the cavity occupied by the brain (~12x5 cms). Found by Reginald Hooley who also found Mantellisaurus in 1914. From #IsleofWight now @NHM-London.bsky.social. #FossilFriday

A pliosaur vertebra from the Etches Collection sporting a notochordal boss, an embryonic remnant. These are common in ankylosaur verts but not uncommon in #IsleofWight posterior dorsal and early caudal iguanodontian centra. Rarely reported elsewhere it seems. #FossilFriday

For #FossilFriday a sacrum from a medium sized iguanodontian in the collections of @nhm-london.bsky.social. Found at Sudmoor Point on the #IsleofWight by Reginald Hooley a wine merchant from Southampton who also discovered the fabulous Mantellisaurus in 1914. Iggy sacra are so aesthetic.
