A few weeks ago I sent Roger ( @Ludwigia ) a piece with some bones from Holzmaden. In exchange of some money and some fossils from Zwingelhausen he prepped it for me!

Already in the unprepped condition I had the suspicion that it might be a skull or at least a part of a skull. Only a few bones were visible first.

 

Unprepped stone:

I found this one in 2016 in the visitor quarry Kromer near Holzmaden. Its about 23 cm long. 

 

The prep work was very difficult, because the stone was so hard. It took about 12 hours.

But nevertheless Roger did a great job and I am very happy about the result :megdance::megdance::megdance:

Here are two pictures of the finished piece:

As you can see its really a part of an Ichthyosaur skull :D :D It might be a juvenile but I am not sure :headscratch:

You can see the eyehole very good, although its a shame that the eye itself isnt preserved:

Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils :)

Perhaps this was the other eyehole:

But there are also other bones on the plate like ribs or vertebrae.

Here is a little vertebra:

And some more very nice preserved bones:

All in all I can say that I am extremely satisfied with the result and this is one of the nicest pieces I have in my collection (until now) :)

Many thanks to Roger (ludwigia) :dinothumb::ighappy: He again had the hearder job ;)

Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils :)

Well the smithsonian and the AMNH are going to be busting your door down wanting their Ichthyosaurus skull back. :D 

 

This is an excellent find. If I may ask, is this your best find yet?
