Three Ichthyosaur Vertebra

Recommended Posts

This Ichthyosaur fossil has just arrived in the mail, i won it at auction. It comes from Whitby in the UK.

There are no repairs. 

 

On the last photo attached on top of the Vert, is this a rib bone possibly?

Could be. The shapes of vertebra are clear, and I'm guessing that the whole thing was covered in mud or something?

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

I believe you are correct. The form fits at any rate.

Always wanted to get an articulated ichthyosaur vert like that. Nice one!

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!
