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

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
