Product information "Ichtyosaurus tooth"
Tooth of an ichthyosaur.
The lagerstätte of Holzmaden is famous for its high-degree of preservation. Every so often entire Ichtyosaurs, Plesiosaurs, Pterosaurs and Marine Crocodiles are found among literal millions of Dactylioceras ammonites. It is reckoned that a low degree of circulation caused anoxia at the bottom of the sea, which prevented scavengers from destroying the carcasses of deceased animals.
