About the Item
This remarkable Ichthyosaur fossil is a stunning example of a fully articulated marine reptile from the Jurassic period approximately 180 million years ago preserved in a large, natural matrix slab. With exquisite detail in the ribcage, flippers, and elongated snout, this specimen captures the elegance and speed of one of the ocean's most iconic prehistoric predators.
Ichthyosaurs thrived during the Mesozoic Era, evolving into sleek, dolphin-like forms that ruled the seas for over 150 million years. This museum-grade specimen offers exceptional preservation and visual clarity, making it a show-stopping display piece for fossil collectors, museums, or interior decorators seeking a one-of-a-kind prehistoric centerpiece.
Whether you're expanding a world-class fossil collection or looking for a commanding conversation piece, this easily wall-mounted Ichthyosaur fossil delivers both scientific significance and stunning aesthetic appeal.
