Description

As I promised here some invertebrates. 
On the left you see a swarm of Baculites syriacus, a nearly straight shelled ammonite (not orthocerat or nautiloid!). It's a interesting genus which is known to grow up to 2 m in length (but not all species) they lived in the middle part of the water column and most likely feed on zooplankton. In addition it may displayed a radical sexual dimorphism with male only growing a third to half the size of the females. 

On the other side you see a Aegyptosaurus carcass which was washed into the ocean some Cretolamna are already drawn there by the scent and begin to eat what the river monsters has left. Under them a Neolobites vibrayeanus passes by. It's a stratigraphically important species, characteristic for the Cenomanian of northern Africa.

What killed the sauropod? Spino? A carcharodontosaur that decided to go for a swim? A big croc? A shark? Maybe even an unlucky hit from a speeding Onchopristis?
