The massive dinner party came after an easing of the restrictions imposed in a bid to slow down the spread of the pandemic COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The event’s organizers covered the colossal table with a white tablecloth and adorned it with flowers. Attendees were encouraged to bring their own food and share it with others. The still-low number of foreign visitors to the Czech Republic due to the coronavirus pandemic also provided an opportunity for locals to enjoy one of their city’s most famous landmarks without the habitual hubbub from the throngs of tourists that usually crowd the picturesque capital.

The finding of the remains consists of jaw, tooth and limb fragments from two specimens, and represents the second oldest record of pliosaurs in the Southern Hemisphere.
