3" Fossil Ichthyosaur Rib Section - Buttenheim, Germany
This is an Ichthyosaur (Ichthyosaurus sp.) rib section that has been prepped free from the rock it was found in. It was collected from the Lower Jurassic, Lias Epsilon of Buttenheim, Bavaria/Germany. There are three repaired cracks through this rib section.
Ichthyosaurs ("Fish Lizard") was a giant marine reptile which thrived from much of the Mesozoic era. They evolved in the mid Triassic from a group of unidentified land reptiles which transition back into the water. This line evolved in parallel to the ancestors of todays dolphins and whales, something known as convergent evolution.
