Species of Ichthyosaur Is Largest Known Marine Reptile at 80 Feet Long

A father and daughter duo found the jawbone of the species and the research team named the new marine reptile species Latin for 'giant fish lizard of the Severn.'

A father and daughter, searching for fossils on an English beach, found more than they expected: the jawbone of what may be the largest known marine reptile. Scientists estimate that the giant ichthyosaur, from which the jawbone came, measured 80 feet long and lived during the late Triassic period. A report in the journal PLOS details the find. When Justin Reynolds and Ruby Reynolds (then 11) were combing the beach at Somerset in 2020 and came upon a giant bone chunk, they knew they were on to something. “When Ruby and I found the first two pieces we were very excited as we realized that this was something important and unusual,” said Reynolds in a release. So they contacted Dean Lomax, a University of Manchester paleontologist...

Gigantic Marine Reptile Fossil Found by 11-Year-Old Girl and Father

A massive jawbone found by a father-daughter fossil-collecting duo on a beach in Somerset along the English coast belonged to a newfound species that’s likely the largest known marine reptile to swim in Earth’s oceans.

Scientists consider the blue whale, which grows up to 110 feet (33.5 meters) long, to be the largest known animal ever to exist on the planet. But it’s possible that the 202 million-year-old reptile, known as an ichthyosaur or “fish lizard,” may have rivaled it in size.

The ichthyosaur’s jawbone, or surangular, was a long, curved bone at the top of the lower jaw just behind the teeth, and it measured more than 6.5 feet (2 meters) long. Researchers believe the creature, named Ichthyotitan severnensis, or “giant fish lizard of the Severn” in Latin, was more than 82 feet (25 meters) long, or the length of two city buses.

Justin and Ruby Reynolds, who live in Braunton, England, recovered the first pieces of the jawbone in May 2020 as they looked for fossils on the beach at Blue Anchor, Somerset. Ruby, 11 at the time, spotted the first chunk of bone, and then she and her dad found additional pieces together.

Crown of Edward VI ( Kingdom of America Lore )

Imperial Crown of Edward VI. Or the Crown of England Is a s the imperial and state crown of Kings of England The imperial crown created by Everart or Everard Everdyes for Edward VI’s coronation is indeed a fascinating piece of history. The term “imperial” refers to a style of crown characterized by its raised arches, which was a significant feature of this particular crown. Everdyes crafted this crown using scrap gold from the Secret Jewel House, including a set of nine letters “I” or “J”, which might have been initially made for Edward’s mother, Jane Seymour. The crown was adorned with pearls from Henry VIII’s personal items and potentially included the large balas ruby known as the Black Prince’s Ruby, which originated from Myanmar. The detailed description of the crown in Edward’s inventory highlights its luxurious composition, with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and a significant number of pearls, culminating in a large balas ruby at the top, pierced and set with a small gold cross. This crown was not only a symbol of royal authority but also a showcase of the wealth and craftsmanship of the time. Everdyes’ contributions to the royal regalia didn’t stop at the crown; he also crafted a coronet for the Duke of Somerset, using diamonds that belonged to Henry VIII. His commitment to his craft and the royal household is further evidenced by his return of unused pearls to the Jewel House after the coronation. The location of his workshop at Westminster Palace indicates his prominence and the trust placed in him by the royal family. The large ruby in Everdyes’ crown, described in 1604 as “a verye greate ballace perced,” suggests that it remained a notable gem in the crown’s design for many years. Such pieces of regalia are not only valuable for their material worth but also for their historical significance, representing the artistry and opulence of the Tudor court. And it IS Currelnty Is Uses By The Kings of England

Una nueva especie de este grupo extinto de pez lagarto, descubierta por dos aficionados a la paleontología y analizado por científicos europeos, pudo llegar a medir más de 25 metros de largo. Su reinado no duró mucho: se cree que se extinguieron durante el evento de extinción masiva del Triásico tardío. Recreación de cadáver de Ichthyotitan severnensis arrastrado a la playa. / Sergey Krasovskiy et al. Por Eva Rodríguez Justin y Ruby Reynolds, padre e hija, comparten un interés común: la búsqueda de fósiles. En 2020, mientras paseaban por la playa en Blue Anchor, en Somerset (Reino Unido), descubrieron un fósil en una roca que alguien había dejado junto a un trozo de piedra caliza con cristales de pirita. Se trataba de un hueso enorme que fascinó a Justin, que se quedó observándolo mientras su hija seguía buscando hasta encontrar otro aún mayor enterrado parcialmente en un talud de barro. Eran los restos de un ictosaurio titánico, como pudo corroborar más tarde Dean Lomax, paleontólogo de la Universidad de Manchester con el que contactaron al sospechar que se trataba de un hallazgo importante. “Estaba muy emocionado. Fue la segunda pieza la que nos permitió identificar los restos como parte de una mandíbula de ictiosaurio al buscar en internet y encontrar el artículo de 2018 de Lomax, Paul de la Salle y otros”, dice a SINC Reynolds padre. “Desde que me puse en contacto por primera vez con Lomax nos hemos reunido en el yacimiento para buscar más piezas. Mi familia y yo también estuvimos varias veces con Paul de la Salle y su esposa Carol y fue entonces cuando se recogieron la mayoría de las diferentes piezas del estudio”, añade. La última pieza de hueso se recuperó en octubre de 2022.  Los restos fosilizados de esta segunda mandíbula gigante miden más de 2 metros de largo. Los expertos corroboraron que provenía de una nueva especie de ictiosaurio enorme, un tipo de reptil marino prehistórico, del tamaño de una ballena azul. Las estimaciones sugieren que habría medido más de 25 metros de largo. El estudio se publica hoy en la revista PLoS ONE. Lomax quedó muy impresionado de que Ruby y Justin identificaran correctamente el descubrimiento: “Reconocieron que coincidía con la que describimos años antes. Les pregunté si les gustaría unirse a mi equipo para estudiar y describir este fósil, incluyendo darle un nombre. Aceptaron la oportunidad”. “Para Ruby, especialmente, que es una científica que no solo encontró, sino que también ayudó a nombrar un tipo de reptil prehistórico gigante. ¡Probablemente no hay muchos jóvenes de 15 años que puedan decir eso!”, continúa. Víctimas de una extinción masiva Estos animales, muchos de los cuales se parecían a los delfines modernos, evolucionaron por primera vez durante el período Triásico temprano, hace unos 250 millones de años. En unos pocos millones de años, algunos de ellos evolucionaron hasta alcanzar al menos 15 metros de largo, y hacia el Triásico Tardío (hace aproximadamente 200 millones de años), a especímenes más grandes, incluido el recientemente descrito que han denominado Ichthyotitan severnensis, que significa ‘lagarto pez gigante del Severn’. “Ictiosaurios como este probablemente tenían pocos depredadores de los que preocuparse, aparte de otros de su especie más grandes. Por supuesto, la historia es diferente para los juveniles: seguramente eran presa fácil para la mayoría de los animales como tiburones o plesiosaurios y, por tanto, serían seleccionados para crecer rápido con el fin de encontrar lo antes posible refugio en su gran tamaño”, explica a SINC Marcelo Perillo, coautor de estudio en la Universidad de Bonn (Alemania). Sin embargo, su reinado no necesariamente duró mucho. Si bien algunas especies de ictiosaurios continuaron vagando por los océanos durante millones de años, se cree que se extinguieron durante el evento de extinción masiva del Triásico tardío.

20 FEBRUARY 1547: The Coronation of Edward VI

Edward VI was the last Tudor King and the first true Protestant King of England. On the eve of his coronation, Edward made his procession from the Tower of London to Westminster. There were many pageants that greeted the boy-king as he rode horseback dressed in a jerkin of white velvet decorated with diamonds, rubies and pearls.

*“His gown was a fine mesh of gold with a cape of sable, whilst the horse he rode upon was draped in crimson satin beaded with pearls.”

The Imperial Ambassador Francois Van der Defelt was not impressed and when he met the king, he spoke to him in French to which his uncle, the Lord Protector and now Duke of Somerset, reproached him and told him he should speak in Latin instead because the king “understood better than French.” Defelt had no more good things to say about the King or the Archbishop of Canterbury who refused to speak to him because of his Catholic beliefs.

As for the pageantry itself, it was nothing short of glorious. Everything went according to plan. Protocol was followed. The Marquis of Dorset [Henry Grey, husband to Frances Brandon and father to Jane Grey] carried the sword of justice in his role as Constable of England and Edward was flanked by John Dudley and his uncle [Somerset]. Next came the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, the pensioners and the other guard.

Pageants greeted the young king. These were not rehearsed and many had to be improvised. Of these was one of children who each represented one of the four virtues: Grace, Fortune, Nature and Charity.

Like his first Tudor ancestors, Edward VI’s procession on the eve of his coronation served to leave its mark on history. The Tudors knew the importance of imagery and how powerful it was to manipulate or rewrite history. At the same time, it evoked the tales they themselves kept perpetuating of their legitimacy. For example the phoenix was his mother’s badge, standing on a golden tower with its wings spread up and nature flourishing as a result. Edward was making a powerful statement, and his uncle helped too perhaps, about his parents’ marriage as lawful and true. And also establishing his legitimacy. His sisters would do the same for their coronations [especially Elizabeth whose glorious pageantries marked the contrast between her future reign and her sister’s]; emphasizing on their legitimacy and lineage through their parents. The female consort played an important role here. Although she was not physically present, she could still be seen [and remembered] through her insignia. Secondly, the red and white roses were powerful symbols and reminders of the legitimacy of the Tudor line, or what they called their right to inherit the throne. It reminded everyone of the wars fought between brothers and cousins, that ended with the destruction of Houses Lancaster and York (represented by the red and white rose) and the ascension of the Tudors who brought about peace when their first monarch, Henry VII (considered the heir to the Lancastrians) married the beautiful Elizabeth, Princess of York.

The truth we now know is very different but it was a tale that worked very well for the Tudors and it simplified the conflict, and it gave their line legitimacy.

The procession had lasted nearly five hours and ended at six o’ clock.

The following day, the real show began when Edward was taken by barge to Whitehall where he was received by the guard and pensioners. Passing them into the chamber of Court of Augmentations, he donned the Parliamentary robes he was wearing and put on a robe of crimson velvet ‘furred with powdered ermines’. From there he went to Westminster Abbey under a canopy borne by the barons of the Cinque Ports. At his right and left was the Earl of Shrewsbury and Cuthbert Tunstall, Bishop of Durham. John Dudley, the Marquis of Northampton –Catherine Parr’s brother, William Parr- and his other uncle, Thomas Seymour bore his train.

At his entrance into the Abbey, Cranmer began the address, asking the congregation “Will ye sirs at this time, and give your wills and assents to the same consecration, enunction, and coronation?” To which they responded “Yes, ye, ye, God save King Edward!”

In spite of the great response, the coronation which still followed the precepts set by Liber Regalis (c.1375), had been altered significantly and certain ceremony and addresses cut down not to wear the King, but more than that, because it was against the new tradition that Cranmer and the Reformers wanted to impose for their “new era”. The crowd who was aware of the changes, was explained by Cranmer the reason for this changes in a sermon to the King. He said that the alteration was due to the fact that before, Kings had atone for their actions to the clergy or somebody else, including their people. This time Kings were infallible. They were demi-gods of a sort. Edward as the Reformist king would account to no one and the clergy had no right “to hit Your Majesty in the teeth”. Nevertheless, he reminded that as God’s anointed sovereign he still had to have certain virtues for he was a messenger of Jesus and his representative on Earth.
