Welsh Wizard Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 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. Nick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
