Well preserved Ichthyosaur including parts of its blubber

in ichthyosaur •  6 years ago 

Another really cool paleontological find, this one of an Ichthyosaur (literally translates as fish lizard) with some of its blubber which would have insulated it in the water much like blubber does for cetaceans today. Important find as this will allow paleontologists to better understand their biology, physiology, ecology and evolutionary relationships.
