One last compendium, I think, unless I find unusually large quantities of Cephalopod Awareness links in my mailbox tomorrow.

    How to eat a cephalopod, if you’re a mosasaur.

    Yes, except that it’s illustrated with a very nice picture of a crocodile eating an ammonite.

    heh, yeah didn’t even notice that, being that the focus of the article was on the picture of the mosasaur-punctured fossil nautiloid (a far more interesting pic!).

    well, the author did say “And me with nothing to wear, and shoes that don’t match my dress, and a handbag that’s so last season…”

    Sigh… I knew there was a reason I didn’t specialise in vertebrate palaeontology. Still, you have to admit it’s a cool picture, and I composed the whole post in a bit of a rush at 10.30 at night. Those are my excuses and I’m sticking to them!

    I thought it was a well done little article, considering.

    I’d never seen that paper before, and I appreciate your bringing attention to it.

    I’ve had Tako-yaki (Octopus balls). They’re wonderful. Imagine Hush Puppies with diced octopus in them. Equally wonderful are Ika-yaki: Squid balls.

    Here’s a recipe for Takoyaki.
