Fossil Ichthyosaurs like this one were first discovered in Europe in the early 1800s. Paleontologists studied the extinct marine reptile so often that reconstructions of it were displayed at the Crystal Palace during the World Exhibition of 1851.

Can we take a minute to appreciate just how frigging insane this fossil is.

This is an ichthyosaur with actual skin preserved. Not just that, but even the dorsal and tail fins are preserved! Oh, and the skin around its fins. Ichthyosaurs are epic, just saying

Writing about ichthyosaurs for LTTAII - reworked Ophthalmosaurus now features alongside Triassic taxa. Text is >50% done and images are almost finished, but progress is slow due to other commitments. This'll be another book finished via late nights and early starts.

I need ichthyosaur for a book, so I've revisited an Ophthalmosaurus image not touched since 2015. Apparently it's now on holiday somewhere warm, scenic and probably expensive. Note the terrific animal/scenery ratio, which is just what you want in a crowded book.
