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 in length;
16-20 cm in height; - 32 cm upright on the stand
15 cm in width;
Weight can only be assessed with the stand; the fossil itself is not very heavy. Please forgive me that I do not dismantle it for weighing, as 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 carrier for delicate goods
The piece has been part of my collection for many years and I’d like to reduce it a bit now. More pieces will follow.
Best regards to all visitors and interested parties of my listings!
Good luck with your bidding!
Shipping costs are hard for me to estimate; I will coordinate with the buyer on how to proceed in any case. I would prefer pickup since shipping value requires transport insurance that covers the item value... that will probably be very expensive. If my estimate happens to be too high you will get the excess amount back. If you collect it yourself, warmly welcome, because then it will surely arrive well for you.
The piece is truly unique, and a TOP-quality preparation work.
