AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original 3D preparation of a complete Ichthyosaurus skull (85%) mounted on a display stand.
The size is: 46-47 cm in length; 16-20 cm in height; - 32 cm when mounted on the stand; 15 cm in width;
Weight can only be recorded with the stand, the fossil itself is not very heavy. Please forgive me for not weighing it separately, as it is too fragile.
Era: approx. middle to early Jurassic - 160-220 million years ago
The fossil is original, complete (also the teeth and the eye plates)
The preparation is: glued
Finding location: France near Millau
Shipping method: pickup / or by a freight forwarder for delicate goods
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 your bids!
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 goods value... this 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 are most welcome, as it will certainly arrive well with you.
The piece is truly unique, and a TOP preparation job.
