Fossil - Fossil matrix - Mixosaurus - 67 cm - 32 cm
No. 96494354
Mixosaurus is a kind of ichthyosaur. This piece is cleaned with Pneumatic pen, so the skull and body can appear more three-dimensional, and many parts can be preserved. This fossil has been cleaned very beautifully, and the bones are very distinct from the matrix. It's eyes, and body are quite beautiful, and many details are still there. This fossil even retains traces of skin.
The size is about 67*32*3 cm.
Mixosaurus was a small to medium-sized ichthyosaur, not growing more than 2 metres (6.6 ft) in total length with small species not growing more than 1 metre (3.3 ft). It possessed a long tail with a low fin, suggesting it could have been a slow swimmer, but also possessed a dorsal fin for stability in the water. The paddle-like limbs were made up of five toes each, unlike the three toes found in later Ichthyosaurs.
