Ichthiosaurus was the first of the Ichthyosaur Family to be discovered. It was large sea-dwelling reptile that lived during the Jurassic Period. Like most Ichthiosaurs it resembled a modern dolphin. It probebly gave birth to live young.
In the very early 19th century a young girl named Mary Anning was walking along the southern English coast, nicknamed the Jurassic Coast when she made an incredible discovery. Young Mary had found a nearly complete Ichthyosaurus fossil, the first ever of this genus and the Family that was named after it.[1]
