LiamL Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Here is one of those fossils that would have been amazing if it had been found sooner. I found it washed up among the pebbles. It's a worn down partial ichthyosaur Sclerotic ring. The thin plates that made up the ichthyosaurs eye. While worn, I have cleaned it up and I am still happy to have such a piece among my fossil collection. Top of the skull The eye plates 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

What I have here is 3 worn plates of the eye so not a full ring. They are also worn down so alot of the detail has been lost unlike that museum quality specimen. Excuse the drawing ha.
