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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specimen is 48 inches long on a 54-inch matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCTION TIME 30-60 DAYS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: SHIPPING FOR THIS ITEM REQUIRES A SPECIAL SHIPPING CRATE AND SPECIAL HANDLING.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping Crate Is\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e58 x 23.5 x 6.5 inches and 60 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease call (314) 556-0650 or\u003cspan\u003e email us at fossils@yahoo.com \u003c\/span\u003efor more pictures or information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping costs are not included.    You will be charged separately for shipping costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BigfootCasts.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44353522794687,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/6635\/2996\/files\/RALNDQORPCSEMHOFNEW5LTNI.jpg?v=1751154245","url":"https:\/\/bigfootcasts.com\/es\/products\/ichthyosaurus-48-inch-skeleton-1010-replica","provider":"BigfootCasts.com ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
