Revisited an Ophthalmosaurus (meaning “eye lizard” in Greek) icenicus ichthyosaur vertebra from my collection. And decided to apply a paraloid solution to complete the preparation of this find to help stabilise the RARE Secarodus polyprion hybodont shark tooth attached, which was possibly scavenging the animal at the time.

The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty.

Nice example of scavanger  - prey association. Sharks easily lose teeth doing there chomping. Are there any scrape marks evident on the vert ? Though i can see the surface of the bone is eroded away so may be difficult but some dig in far enough to perhaps leave a gouge.

In the footsteps of Mantell and Anning, searching for dinosaur with a passion !
