The most perfect original specimen of this species we have seen in many years.

An exquisite juvenile ichthyosaur from the Posidonienschiefer formation. The fossilised remains are near

perfectly preserved within the original matrix, providing valuable paleontological information – an extreme

rarity for specimens of this calibre. Of significant interest is the presence of a fish within the stomach area, the

final meal of this wonderful marine reptile.
