1898 Antique Print-PREHISTORIC SCENE-VOLCANO-MARINE DINOSAURS-Kid's Room Decor Plesiosaurus (Greek: πλησιος/plesios, near to + σαυρος/sauros, lizard) was a genus of large marine sauropterygian reptile that lived during the early part of the Jurassic Period, and is known by nearly complete skeletons from the Lias of England. Although there are a number of modern day myths surrounding this order of creature, such as the myth of the Loch Ness monster, these creatures are known to be extinct. It is distinguishable by its small head, long and slender neck, broad turtle-like body, a short tail, and two pairs of large, elongated paddles. Ichthyosaurus (derived from Greek ιχθυς/ichthys meaning 'fish' and σαυρος/sauros meaning 'lizard') is a genus of ichthyosaurs from the late Triassic and early Jurassic (Rhaetian - Pliensbachian[1]) of Europe (Belgium, England, Switzerland). It is among the best known ichthyosaur genera, with the Order Ichthyosauria being named after it.[2][3][4] Ichthyosaurus was the first complete fossil to be discovered in the early 19th century by Mary Anning in England. This highly decorative antique print originates from an expensive luxury portfolio-style volume published in Germany between 1890-1920.The volume contained beautiful colour plates depicting prehistoric fauna. This is not a recent copy or modern reproduction.
