History of this Plaque

This Large Ichthyosaur  plate is one of the best if not the Best ever offered to the fossil collector that shows a complete animal that was fossilized some 150 million years ago in near Glastonbury, England.

The original or real fossil plate was found by Thomas Hawkins some 200 years ago.
and still resides in the British Museum.

This Replica appeared in the  Henry A. Ward catalog of fossil replicas of 1866. It was housed in the Ward collection of fossil replicas in Rochester NY.  until 1893 when it was displayed at the Chicago Exhibition ( similar to a World's fair ) with many of his other replicas.. At this time the Field Museum of Chicago bought most of all Henry Ward's collection. This plaque became one of the attractions on display at the museum. As the museum's collection grew in size this plaque was then stored away most likely in their basement for almost 100 years.

In 2002 we acquired this replica and now after 135 years in storage
this FABULOUS  ICHTHYOSAUR  PLATE is now available again to fossil collectors, museums and schools etc. Each wall plaque is individually made to order and is made of polyeurathane resin and the weight is far less then the original replica.

Just my opinion but this is the type of fossil you dream about finding and adding to your collection. If you use your imagination you could just see THIS ICHTHYOSAUR as still alive in the ocean some 150 million years ago.

*** HENRY WARD - was the founder of Ward's Scientific Co. of Rochester, NY. that is still in business today selling mineral and fossil kits among other scientific equipment to many schools within the USA.

Note: Pronounced (IK-thee-oh-SAWR-us) Ichthyosaurus was, a dolphin-like reptile up to 75 feet long. It could swim at 25 mph (40 kph). Ichthyosaurs had a tall dorsal fin, a half-moon-shaped tail, paddle-like flippers and smooth skin. The nostrils were near the eyes on the top of the head. It had massive ear bones and large eyes, probably giving it acute hearing and sight. These marine reptiles gave birth to live young. Their diet was mostly fish, but also included cephalopods (like belemnites). Hundreds of Ichthyosaurus fossils have been found in England, Germany, Greenland, and Alberta, Canada. They lived during the early Jurassic to the early Cretaceous periods. It was not a dinosaur, but another type of extinct reptile. Ichthyosaurus, which means "fish lizard," was named by Charles Koenig in 1818.

History of this Plaque

This Juvenile Plesiosaur  plate is one of the best if not the Best ever offered to the fossil collector that shows a complete animal that was fossilized some 150 million years ago in Glastonbury, England.

The original or real fossil plate was found by Thomas Hawkins  in 1834. The original fossil still resides at the British Museum in London.

 FYI: Hawkins called this specimen 'Plesiosaurus triatarsostinus' - a real mouthful!
Richard Owen re-christened it as Plesiosaurus Hawkinsii in 1840. The genus has been renamed following a proper description by Mike Taylor and Glenn Storrs (1996)
 'Thallasiodracon' - meaning 'sea dragons' - and
"hawkinsii' in honour of its discoverer.
