Replica Fossil Ichthyosaur Communis

Jurassic

United Kingdom

Natural Selection Fossils is proud to introduce two stunning new replicas soon to be added to its range. The second of these is this high-quality replica of a juvenile ichthyosaur of the species Ichthyosaurus communis found in 2017 in the Blue Lias of Lyme Regis.

This specimen is unusually preserved lying in a prone (belly down) position which shows off the shape of the animal well. It is exceptionally complete and includes all four limbs (paddles), which is very hard to find on these specimens. The original fossil took over 75 hours to prepare from the rock. The whole piece measures 110 cm long by 49 cm tall and weighs 5 kg.

The ichthyosaur itself measures 103 cm long. This replica is hand made from a strong lightweight plastic and backed with a plywood board. These replicas make fantastic display pieces that grace any wall space and create a unique focus.
