My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…

Here's a copy of my life-size Protoichthyosaurus model, commissioned (2021) by the Cole Museum at the University of Reading.

Is a genus of ichthyosaurs from the Early Jurassic (Hettangian - Pliensbachian of Europe (Belgium, England, Germany and Portugal. Some specimens of the ichthyosaurid Protoichthyosaurus from England and Switzerland have been erroneously referred to this genus in the past. It is among the best known ichthyosaur genera, as it is the type genus of the order Ichthyosauria.

An article published in the journal "PeerJ" describes the examination of the specimen of a marine reptile that lived during the Jurassic period, about 200 million years ago. A team of researchers submitted it to an advanced CT-scan that allowed to examine it in depth and to conclude that it belongs to the species Protoichthyosaurus prostaxalis while originally it was identified as a specimen of Ichthyosaurus communis.

Un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista "PeerJ" descrive l'esame dell'esemplare di un rettile marino che visse nel periodo Giurassico, circa 200 milioni di anni fa. Un team di ricercatori l'ha sottoposto a una TAC di tipo avanzato che ha permesso di esaminarlo in modo approfondito e di concludere che appartiene alla specie Protoichthyosaurus prostaxalis mentre in origine era stato identificato come un esemplare di Ichthyosaurus communis.
