Ichthyosaur Alert!

I’ve been super excited to finally find my own  marine reptile fossil and today i’ve done just that and i’m chuffed! Found this near Whitby in Yorkshire.

 

Low tide was at about 6pm so I was waiting for the water to go out so I could get round. Lucky I was the first person.

 

The vert is very waterworn and damaged, but Im not bothered. I’ve had my eye out for awhile and am very happy to find one, hopefully the first of many..

I also found a nice dac that i’ll prep up. I was tempted to whack it again to get the rest of the ammonite showing but theres a crack on the bottom, so it might ruin it.

Congrats on your first vert! I'd drop lots of liquid super glue into those cracks on the Dacty if I were you before you prep it any further.

 

Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger
