Update talks delivered 2026 (including at #DinoConUK) cover sea reptile work published since the 3rd edition of the book came out, and thoughts on the sea monster connection were published in Geology Today in 2026: ask if you want a pdf of that article.

Within the bounds of word count, I did what I could to cover Mesozoic marine reptile diversity and modern thoughts on their evolutionary history. Plans to cover Cenozoic groups were disallowed by word count - you can never do everything. #books

My stock of Ancient Sea Reptiles has again run out, so I need more for events coming up in early 2027. I've been talking about material relevant to the book both in the context of what we know about Mesozoic reptiles, and in terms of how they relate to ideas on supposed modern sea monsters. #books
