“Death blowing bubbles,” one of the several depictions of death created by Johann Georg Leinberger between 1729 and 1731 for the ceiling of the Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey in Bamberg, Germany. The bubbles are symbols of the fragility of life.

The post-lunchtime crowd at The Porterhouse Temple Bar, Parliament Street, Dublin.

(sigh) This was once the secondary-flagship pub of a small-town enterprise that wanted to challenge Big Irish Beer with microbrew and a wide palette of imported beers—and did so, successfully, for a couple/few decades: a frequent thorn in “Uncle Arthur’s” butt, especially when they won the Best Stout in the World award out from under Guinness a couple of times.

They expanded into the UK and other markets, and their home pubs had a broad selection of foreign beers. (Early on, if you brought them a cool new one, your next drink after that was free.) But COVID hit them hard, and their center-city locations—one of which had the Best People-Watching Window in Dublin—have now for survival’s sake been turned into concrete-lined post-millennial drinking dens or small-plate joints.

And how long will this place last? (sigh)

[insert woman-shakes-fist-at-cloud.jpg] Dammit.

…Anyway: here is @petermorwood’s Schlenkerle Helles, a lager from a German brewery based in Bamberg that’s known for making a rightfully famous smoked beer.

Here now my complete post on Balaenognathus maeuseri, a new ctenochasmid from Wattendorf, the northern-most Plattenkalk deposit. It was a bizarre creature and is known from a fantastic specimen.

Most notable are the salad tong like jaws that where toothless at the front and had hundreds of fine teeth on the side. These teeth had little nobs and hooks and the palate wore a large crest, as deep as the lower jaw. Because of these nobs and their straight downward position of the teeth, the animal wasn't even able to fully close it's jaws. In addition the large depressor muscle attachment and robust hyoids are notable. The animal has also long limbs, perfect for wading in shallow water. Overall characters of a specialized filter feeder

Balaeonognathus lived in a environment quite similar to the Solnhofen archipelago, although the fauna differed slightly. We have for example here the largest known marine turtle of the Jurassic (Thalassmeys).

Balaenognathus reached a wingspan a little over one meter and is so specialized that it might have been endemic to Wattendorf. The locality is still rather fresh and there are tons of new taxa to be described. Especially turtles are diverse but also many large fish and rynchocephalians are waiting to get their scientific spotlight
