Description
Ichthyosaur skeleton panel replica measures 60.0 inches long. The plaque is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from Brigham Young University specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
Ichthyosaur skeletons, often found in Jurassic marine rocks, exhibit a dolphin-like, convergent evolution structure designed for fully aquatic life, featuring large, deep-diving eyes with protective bony sclerotic rings and limbs adapted into steering paddles.
They ranged from 1 to 26 meters, possessing cone-shaped teeth, a long snout, and a vertebral column designed for powerful, fish-like swimming.
These creatures swarmed the northern coast of Pangea during the Early and Middle Triassic periods. Paleontologists track their presence across Japan, China, Canada and Spitsbergen, Norway. True ichthyosaurus eventually outcompeted and replaced this ancestral stem group later in the Middle Triassic.
