Specimens of Ichthyosaur Bone, collected from Abingdon, Oxfordshire in the UK. These specimens are from the genus Brachypterygius, and date to approximately 157 – 152 Ma. This puts these samples in the Kimmeridgian stage of the Jurassic period, which is the apex of the dinosaur’s rule on Earth. Ichthyosaur’s are an order of large ancient marine reptiles, that went extinct around 95 million years ago. The pieces are from undetermined body parts and could be remnants from various parts of the animal. They range in colour from grey to rusty orange. These samples are available in various sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.
