AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original 3D preparation of a complete Ichthyosaurus skull (85%) mounted on an exhibition stand.
The size is: 46-47 cm length;
16-20 cm height; - 32 cm on stand
15 cm width;
Weight can only be measured with the stand; the fossil itself is not very heavy. Please forgive me that I do not detach it for weighing, for 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
Find location: France near Millau
Shipping method: pickup / or by a freight forwarder for fragile items
The piece has been part of my collection for many years and I would now 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 in any case coordinate with the buyer on how to proceed. I would prefer pickup because shipping value requires transport insurance that covers the value of the goods... that will probably be very expensive. If my estimate is too high you will receive the excess amount back. If you come to pick it up yourself, you are warmly welcome, because then it will surely arrive well at your place.
The piece is truly unique, and a TOP preparation job.
