 Description:
This is a fine complete pair of teeth from the dolphin-sized Ichthyosaur
known as Ichthyosaurus communis coming from the world-reknowned deposits
of Lyme Regis, United Kingdom. This region has been the source of
many marine reptiles, with Mary Anning being the discoverer of many
fine specimens. Undoubtedly the best exhibit in the world is that
of the Natural History Museum, London.
Teeth of these 200 million year old, typically 2 meter long "fish
lizards" are not often available, and rarely as multiples. There
is a tip of a third example present on the back. |
