Ichthyosaur. Eurhinosaurus longirostris. Toarcian (180 million years). Lorraine. Skull originally crushed by sediment compaction and trapped in rock. To obtain this 3D hollowed-out skull, each bone is prepared one by one, then the skull is reassembled in 3D. This skull is the only specimen in the world of Eurhinosaurus present in 3D outside its rocky matrix. 1,2m long.- Blouet brothers collection

New yet undescribed giant ichthyosaur species from the Lower Cretaceous, Aptian (113-125 million years ago). The largest ichthyosaur skeleton in the world reassembled in 3 dimensions. As their name suggests, from the Greek 'ichthyo': fish, and 'saurus': reptile, ichthyhyosaurs were marine reptiles, which dominated the seas at the time when their dinosaur cousins occupied the mainland. This skeleton was discovered in Cretaceous rocks in Provence. - Blouet brothers collection

Encrustation of serpules on the surface of the bone. Serpules are polychaete underwater worms that build a protective sheath of limestone on hard substrates, such as rocks. Serpules are also commonly found on the shells of mussels. The presence of serpules on this bone proves that it remained on the seabed for some time before being covered with sediment. - Blouet brothers collection

Swimming paddle of Pliosaurus sp. Kimmeridgian (155 million years). Dorset, UK. Pliosaurs, like plesiosaurs, had 4 limbs of equal power which they used in the manner of 'underwater flight' unique in the animal kingdom. Since all 4 limbs have similar sizes and characteristics, it is unclear whether this paddle is a forelimb or a hindlimb.Total lenght 2,5 m- Blouet brothers collection
