Ichthyosaur Jaw Fossil With Tooth Whitby Yorkshire Coast

A genuine ichthyosaur jaw fossil with a preserved tooth from Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast, dating back around 180 million years to the Jurassic period. This specimen preserves part of the jaw from an ancient ichthyosaur, along with a small tooth still remaining in place within the bone. Ichthyosaurs were fast swimming marine reptiles that once inhabited the Jurassic seas surrounding Yorkshire, hunting fish and other marine life in the prehistoric oceans. The reverse side of the specimen experienced natural fracturing during preservation within the rock and has been carefully stabilised using glue and paraloid to help secure and preserve the fossil. Ichthyosaur jaw material is highly sought after among collectors due to its rarity and strong connection to the famous marine reptile fossils of the Yorkshire Coast. A 100% authentic Yorkshire Coast fossil, perfect for collectors, display, or anyone interested in genuine Jurassic marine reptile remains from Whitby.
