This authentic Ichthyosaur vertebra fossil originates from the Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay deposits of Weymouth, Dorset, UK. Ichthyosaurs were swift marine reptiles that thrived in the prehistoric oceans, dominating Jurassic seas with sleek, dolphin-like bodies, powerful tails, and sharp eyesight for hunting.
Ichthyosaurs were not dinosaurs, but highly specialized marine reptiles that evolved streamlined bodies for rapid swimming. They were apex predators that fed on fish, squid, and ammonites. Their vertebrae were adapted for powerful tail-driven swimming, allowing them to glide through the Mesozoic seas with incredible speed.
