Jurassic Filter Feeders

If art were limited to galleries, it would be a sad old world. This terrific "artist's impression" of Leedsichthys, a giant filter feeding fish that lived during the Jurassic period, is by Robert Nicholls (2010). New research has filled a gap of 100 million years with these giant filter feeders, which died out when the dinosaurs became extinct.
