A color-pencil impression of the giant rhamphorhynchine pterosaur Dearc sgiathanach, which hails from the Bathonian-aged Lealt Shale Formation of Scotland, for St. Andrew’s Day. It had a 3-meter-long wingspan and was probably the single largest pterosaur of the Middle Jurassic, around 168-165 million years ago.

#Archovember Day 7 - Dearc sgiathanach

Discovered earlier this year, Dearc sgiathanach changed what we knew about pterosaur evolution. Previously it was thought that pterosaurs did not reach large sizes until the Pterodactyloids of the Cretaceous appeared. But Dearc lived in Middle Jurassic Scotland, dwarfing most all other Rhamphorhynchids with an estimated wingspan between 2.2 meters and 3.8 meters (12.5 feet)! Histology studies also suggest that while the animal was fairly mature at the time of death, it was still growing.

While large, Dearc still had a fairly normal Rhamphorhynchid body plan: short neck, long tail, and interlocking teeth. And, like most other Rhamphorrhynchids, It likely used those needle-like teeth for catching fish. Not many other fossils have been found from the Lealt Shale Formation, aside from ornithopod, stegosaur, and theropod tracks, as well as a theropod tooth. But it could have certainly shared its environment with other Middle Jurassic European dinosaurs such as the sauropod Cetiosaurus, the theropods Megalosaurus and Proceratosaurus, and the stegosaurid Loricatosaurus.

Liar Heart - Chapter 2 (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/coTxj2Npr5 Nel mondo ci sono migliaia e migliaia di schemi, ma sono divisi solo da due grandi gruppi: quelli buoni e quelli cattivi. Gli schemi, tutto il mondo ne segue le sue direttive, qualunque esse siano, potremmo parlare di centinaia di persone, ma no, oggi parleremo solo di loro. Una ragazza fuori da qualunque schema scritto al mondo, lei è quel puntino lassù, in alto, in quello spazio inutilizzato...nell'angolo più remoto del foglio che nessuno calcola chiamandola inutile e insignificante, quello stesso puntino che, dopo anni, con le proprie forze e il suo gran coraggio si crea un proprio schema: unico e inattaccabile al mondo. Una ragazza che indossa una maschera invisibile, ma efficiente, impossibile da frantumare in mille pezzi. Un ragazzo che di schemi nè capisce poco e niente, un ragazzo che non ha mai mostrato a nessuno il vero sè stesso, che si nasconde continuamente dietro a delle maschere e continua ad adattarsi ai vari schemi che esistono nel mondo, cercando di sopravvivere alla malvagità esistente su questo pianeta. Perchè per lui è questa la vita: mille peripezie al quale bisogna essere forti e sopravvivere ogni giorno fino alla fine. Loro, dai schemi differenti, ma dai caratteri così simili...riusciranno mai a essere veramente se stessi senza aver paura di niente e nessuno? Forse, aiutandosi a vicenda, questo potrebbe accadere...ma chissà, la vita ha in serbo molte cose per noi...

The Misty Isle

3 - 5 June 2017

I was so lucky to be able to visit the Isle of Skye twice during my stay in Scotland, but I didn’t post any pictures from the trip I did with IFSA, so here are a bunch from when I was with my fam!

Here’s the ridiculously beautiful view from our Airbnb.

A bridge! A legend! Sticking your face in freezing water for 10 seconds! So, they say that if you dunk your face into the water for 10 seconds, then you’ll stay young and beautiful forever. I did it when my class came, but both of my parents did it this time! Stay tuned for whether it worked or not. 

The Fairy Pools! I may have been slightly overzealous on this hike, but that’s only because I had seen so many photos of this one specific pool and I needed to see it. 

What’s a trip with my family without some drinking involved? I wasn’t a big fan of this whiskey, too peaty. 

Views from Portree, the largest town on the Isle! 

Ah, one of the best hikes – the Old Man of Storr. Challenging, but the views are so worth it. 

And finally, Lealt Falls, a beautiful gorge with waterfalls and lush trees all around. 

The three days we spent on the Isle were pretty magical!

Day Six: Isle of Skye (October 7)

Day Six: Isle of Skye (October 7)

On Monday, we spent the day touring the Isle of Skye. The first thing that we noticed was that there were waterfalls everywhere. We also saw about four rainbows during our time there.

Our first destination was the famed Fairy Pools. Unfortunately, the attendant at the car park told us that the river you usually cross to get to the Fairy Pools was flooded and it was unlikely we would be able…

On Sunday we set out to explore Skye. 

First we visited Sligachan Bridge and the Cuillins. There’s a legend that if you dip your face in the river for 7 seconds, you will be eternally young and beautiful. I didn't do this myself, since the water was freezing, but lots of others did. It was really beautiful there - the river was mesmerising, and seemed to have a life of its own.

Next we went for a hike to see the Old Man of Storr. It was a short hike, only 20 minutes, but very steep! From here we could see the Old Man of Storr, emerging from heavy cloud, on one side, and a spectacular view of Loch Leathan and the Sound of Raasay. There are various folklore stories about the rock formation. One interesting story is that they are the fingers of a giant, buried under the earth. Another one is that a couple used to walk along the peninsula everyday, while mythical fairies watched them. Eventually, the wife was too old to reach the top, and so the fairies offered the husband a wish. He wished that he and his wife could always be together, however, the fairies tricked him, and turned them both to stone, doomed to stand together forever. It was very windy here, with a heavy dose of rain and shine - a pattern that would continue throughout the day. 

Later we visited Kilt Rock, the Sound of Raasay, and Mealt Fall. Kilt Rock is an interesting cliff-face, formed by volcanic activity. It is supposed to look like a kilt, but personally I don’t see it. The waterfall is also interesting, because it is one of few that falls directly into the ocean. The Sound of Raasay is a saltwater inlet, separating Skye (as the mainland in this case), from the Isle of Raasay. Sound is the Gaelic word for this specific type of body of water. This site was also our most northern stop on Skye.

Next we went to Lealt Gorge and Lealt Falls. This was my favourite spot on Skye, looking out over the Sound. I feel like this place symbolises all the best parts of Skye. From rugged cliffs, scattered with local creatures, to the deep blue sea. It was a truly blowing a gale, and it was the first time I ever thought the wind would pick me up and carry me away. Skye is a natural wonder, and it is everything I hoped Scotland would be.

Finally, we had lunch in Portree. It is the largest town on Skye and we enjoyed some classic fish and chips there. One thing we saw a lot of, being a fishing village, were seagulls. We see them in Edinburgh too. I’m always surprised at how big they are - they are about 1/3 bigger than Australian seagulls, and a bit prettier I think.

It was an exhausting weekend, but definitely worth it!

Lealt Falls 

Bang them tunes out my bonnie lad -TommyC. These spectacular waterfalls were literally just on the side of the road in the beautiful isle of Skye. We were even treated to a local playing bagpipes here, is there anything more quintessentially Scottish?! -RoxyC.  Opening hours: 24/7

Cost: Free Side note: Those dots on the side of the waterfall photo; yeah, they’re the midges...

Visited 173/2814 on our jollies….
