The largest and most complete ichthyosaur ever discovered in the UK was unearthed in Rutland, the country’s smallest county. Measuring over 10 meters in length, this ancient marine reptile was found during maintenance work at Rutland Water in February 2021 and was officially revealed in 2022. It swam in the area’s seas more than 180 million years ago. The specimen was discovered after a lagoon island at the Rutland Water Nature Reserve was drained, and excavation took place in August and Septemb

Here’s a huge Ichthyosaur vertebra we found in a rock pool! How long had it been sat there? The surrounding nodule was coated in natural pyrite which we had to remove using the tools at home. We also found a spherical nodule, we hoped it would contain an Eleganticeras ammonite from the Jurassic! 😍 With a smooth strike of the hammer the rock split perfectly in half to reveal some beautifully preserved specimens 🦕🦖🏝 Thanks for supporting our page! 🐊 #natural #nature #fossil #fossils #ancient

This is a stunning ancient marine reptile called an ichthyosaur. Oh, and it is the only known example of the ichthyosaur called Leptonectes moorei. The fossil was discovered in 1995 by friend and renowned fossil hunter, Chris Moore. It comes from the roughly 190 million year old Jurassic rocks from the foreshore at Seatown, Dorset. It was named in his honour in 1999. I've studied this specimen a bunch of times. It’s such a beautiful fossil. It's not a dolphin. Not a dinosaur. And, well, although

@instyclopedia._ on Instagram: "An 11-year-old girl, Ruby Reynolds, and her father discovered key fossil fragments in 2020 that led to the identification of Ichthyotitan severnensis, a new species of giant ichthyosaur, now considered the largest marine reptile ever found, rivaling blue whales in size. The bones found on a Somerset, England beach, combined with a similar piece found years earlier, confirmed this enormous reptile from the Triassic period. #factsoftheday #knowledge #didyouknowfacts
