Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your comments.

 

It certainly looks better “in the flesh” and the teeth are amazing.

 

Thanks for all the votes although I must admit, that turtle @Natalie81 posted was fantastic.

Can you tell by what paleo-car? :P

 

Congrats, @Welsh Wizard, BTW.

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

I was a shoal bus. :look:

In all honesty it is a running joke from the area I fossick as ichthyosaur is the most commonly found marine reptile fossil in the area hence the nickname road kill.

Usually in isolated bits after being hit by the school bus.
