Articulated Ichthyosaur Vertebra Fossil Group Whitby Yorkshire Coast

A genuine group of 3 articulated ichthyosaur vertebrae from Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast, dating back around 180 million years to the Jurassic period.

This specimen preserves three associated ichthyosaur vertebrae still positioned together, along with an associated rib visible on the reverse side. The vertebrae have become naturally compressed over millions of years of burial and fossilisation, creating an especially interesting and authentic marine reptile specimen.

Ichthyosaurs were fast swimming marine reptiles that dominated the Jurassic seas surrounding Whitby, with articulated vertebra groups such as this providing a fascinating glimpse into the remains of these ancient predators.

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