The Beast in the Cellar - Ichthyosaurs, Modes of Life and Convergent Evolution

On the evening of the 17th May 2013 I gave a talk at Lyme Regis Museum as part of the UK Wide "Museums at Night" Festival.

The subject of the talk was one of the museums' Ichthyosaur specimens - a Temnodontosaurus platydon with the number "E42". In the course of the talk I cover a little of the Geology of the Jurassic Coast, some Ichthyosaur anatomy and convergent evolution of Ichthyosaurs, Dolphins, Seals and other modern and extinct groups.

There are some parts where conjecture happens - If I'm wrong please don't hate me!

Corrections, Comments and Suggestions welcome.
