This ichthyosaur is unquestionably the highlight of Set in Stone’s Spring 2013 Exhibition. It was discovered in the Posidonienschiefer Formation in Germany, a site known for fine fossil specimens from the early Jurassic.

A fine Stenopterygius specimen like this is rarely found outside of German museums and is therefore coveted by collectors worldwide.
