SUMMARY:The Abingdon Sea Monster
DESCRIPTION:A talk by leading palaeontology expert Professor Dave Martill of the University of Portsmouth \nWhile dinosaurs roamed the Jurassic landscape\, Abingdon was submerged beneath a treacherous sea. One denizen of this deep was Pliosaurus\, a ferocious marine reptile that truly can be called a prehistoric monster. With a crocodile-like skull and a smile of dagger-like teeth\, its strong\, but short neck allowed it to twist and thrash its prey to pieces. Its barrel-shaped body was propelled through the water by four gigantic flippers. A fully grown individual was at least twenty metres long\, and it weighed several tons. It ate ichthyosaurs and its close relatives\, the long-necked plesiosaurs\, as well as any number of gigantic fishes and squid. For around ten million years Pliosaurus was Europe’s largest predator.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: ‘It’s Not All Black and White – Abingdon in True Colours’ by Martin Wackenier
DESCRIPTION:Due to popular demand Martin’s photographic exhibition at Abingdon Museum is extended until Sunday 9th January 2022. \nAbout the artist:\n“Originally from Ypres in Belgium\, I lived in Abingdon for the last 13 years now and very much consider it as my home. Over the last 13 years I have been capturing the town and its people on many different occasions from Party in the Park\, bun throwing\, Remembrance Day\, dragon boat racing\, Morris men\, local musicians\, etc. As a professional photographer for the last ten years\, I have also had the opportunity to capture many families\, weddings\, graduations\, christenings\, proms\, new arrivals\, etc. for both the people of Abingdon as well as many locations across the world including as official photographer for The Henley Royal Regatta\, London Fashion Week\, Music Festivals\, and commercial shoots for many different companies. \nThe last year and a half have seen many changes and required many adaptations to everybody’s working and social life. As a precursor I launched my first virtual exhibition online earlier this year consisting of 6 different rooms which was a great success and made me even more determined to have my work featured locally at our town’s museum. The exhibition you will see before is called “ It’s not all black and white\, Abingdon in true colours” which features a collection of photographs from the last 13 years depicting our town and it’s people in all its glory which I hope will give the viewer a real insight into our stunning town by the Thames. Enjoy and stay safe.” \nMartin Wackenier \nhttps://www.devine-timesphotography.com/
