WWD: Cruel Sea (Redux)
🕑 Added 2023-05-03 22:01:58 +0000 UTCAnd now all the costars together in one picture; all of these animals, more or less would have existed in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation during the Pectinatites pectinatus ammonite zone, about 149 million years ago, during the Early Tithonian epoch of the Late Jurassic Period.
At this time in Earth's history, the sea level was much higher than it is now, and millions upon millions of square miles of the planet was covered in warm shallow seas. The Kimmeridge Clay represented a region covered in reefs of bivalves, where the seabed was never more than fifty metres deep, over the region that would one day become the bedrock of England.
(I decided I didn't like the previous background approach so I simplified it and the others to a single solid colour)

I’ve known now for years that the liopleurodon isn’t a Kaiju sized predator but man did child me ever get a kick out of that opening scene. Probably my second favorite episode in the WWD series, possibly tied with Spirit of the Ice Forest.
This was my favorite episode as a kid (I love aquatic animals) and it probably has the best opening in the entire series. Good to see an updated representation of its cast!
