Description from the seller
Original 3D preparation of a complete Ichthyosaurus skull (85%) mounted on a display stand.
The size is: 46-47 cm length;
16-20 cm height; - 32 cm upright
15 cm width;
Weight is only to be assessed with the stand; the fossil itself is not very heavy. Please forgive me for not disassembling it for weighing, it is too fragile.
Era: approx. middle to early Jurassic - 160-220 million years
The fossil is original, complete (including the teeth and the eye plates)
The preparation is: glued
Location: France near Millau
Shipping method: Pick-up / or by a freight forwarder for delicate goods
The piece has been part of my collection for many years and I would like to reduce it a bit. More pieces will follow.
Best regards to all visitors and interested parties of my listings!
Good luck with bidding!
Shipping costs are hard for me to estimate; I will coordinate with the buyer in any case on how to proceed. I would prefer pickup since shipping value requires insurance covering the value of the goods... that will probably be very expensive. If my estimate proves too high you will receive the excess amount back. If you come to pick it up yourself, you’re warmly welcome, as it will surely arrive well.
The piece is truly unique, and a TOP preparation job.
