Hello, I bought this ichthyosaur vertebra at a gem show the other day and I was hoping that some one might be able to help me identify where in England it might have come from or even if they might know what genus it might be so I could make a more detailed label for it. Thank you for your help more angles of the vertebra

Hello! I have a Ichtyosaur vertebra from Abingdon, Oxfordshire. It says it's Kimmeridgian. what Im wondering is if there are many types of ichtyosaurs that has been found in that region or if remains from these can be narrowed down to a specific species?

New remains of a large Ichthyosaur from the Lower Jurassic of the Atacama Desert have been described. The fossils although fragmented, consist of dentary and rostrum remains and at least 11 teeth. The remains are assigned to Temnodontosaurus sp due to the similarities. It is the first marine macropredator in the Lower Jurassic of Northern Chile and the first example of the genus in the southern hemisphere Otero, R., Sepulveda, P. 2020 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089598111930519X#sec6

I haven't posted in a long time. I used to draw the occasional prehistoric beast but looking back, they always left a lot to be desired. Anyway, I have honed my craft and have since started a drawing degree. I don't do much paleo related drawings as the accuracy needed to be really good scares me! So while I've tried to keep mine reasonably accurate, they are always just for my own enjoyment. Here's a few I've done over the last year or so. First off, something special. This ichthyosaur skull was drawn from life in the Lyme Regis Museum. It was drawn with Jurassic squid ink that was extracted from a fossil found in Lyme. Not easy to draw with as it's quite pale and I couldn't get the contrast I usually like, but a very cool thing to have done. Next up we have a Promicroceras ammonite drawn in brown ink. An Allosaurus skull drawn in ink and copic markers. Quite pleased with how this came out. And finally one I did for part of my degree, my Apoderoceras ammonite. This was done in pen and coloured pencil and was drawn from life. This piece is as accurate as I could make it to the original and was drawn full scale. Hope you like them! Edit: Ignore the order, the pictures came out in the wrong order!

From the album: Holzmaden
A kinda interesting combination out of an ammonite, a belemnite and a partial Ichtyosaur rib. It wasn't very difficult to prep but all in all it took about 3 hours. The belemnite is about 10 cm long and the partial rib is about 11 cm long. I found this one last year in the quarry Kromer near Holzmaden. Some more pictures: And the unprepped rib: -
