Ichthyosaur skull bones
This fossil was found by me two years ago in the visitor quarry Kromer near Holzmaden and was prepped by Roger Furze ( @Ludwigia ).
Thanks again
On the piece you can see a disarticulated Ichthyosaur skull with some ribs and vertebrae. You can see one eyehole very good, although the eye itself isnt preserved. Isolated bones are not that rare in Holzmaden but such pieces are very rare !
At the maximum the piece is about 24 cm long.
Unprepped:
Prepped:
The eyehole is very good visible: (Probably my favourite part )
The other eyehole:
Some more bones:
A vertebra:
This one could be from a juvenile which is very rare!
