Ichthyosaur Neural Arch Fossil With Rib For Sale Whitby Yorkshire Coast

A genuine ichthyosaur neural arch fossil with associated rib material from Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast, dating back around 180 million years to the Jurassic period.

This specimen preserves part of the vertebral neural arch from an ancient ichthyosaur, along with a rib visible on the reverse side of the fossil. These marine reptiles once inhabited the Jurassic seas covering Yorkshire and could grow to impressive sizes, hunting fish and other marine life in the prehistoric oceans.

The fossil represents part of what would originally have been a much larger and more complete specimen preserved within the cliff, offering a fascinating glimpse into a far bigger Jurassic marine reptile skeleton.

Ichthyosaur bone material is far less commonly encountered than ammonites along the Yorkshire Coast, making pieces like this especially interesting to collectors of genuine marine reptile fossils.

A 100% authentic Yorkshire Coast fossil, perfect for collectors, display, or anyone interested in genuine Jurassic marine reptile remains from Whitby.
