This sample is remarkable. Original caption:

fms.fossils This is a shot of the abdomen of a near-perfect ichthyosaur I found at Lyme Regis last year. This one is so well preserved that much of the skin pigment and stomach contents are still preserved across the animal. This exceptional level of preservation is rare in the fossil record, and Lyme Regis is one of the few places where it can be found. Exceptional fossil locations where soft tissues can be found are known as Lagerstätten (singular Lagerstätte), or technically Konservat-Lagerstätten. This is from the German meaning ‘storage place’ and there are not many of them known in the world. While Lyme Regis is often forgotten as a fossil site of exceptional preservation, I would argue that it is one of the best, right up there with the more famous Chinese Lagerstätte deposits. With the advent of modern preparation techniques and expert preparators, the fossils from Lyme Regis are showing how well preserved they can be and the soft tissues have the potential to tell us a great deal about how the animals of the Early Jurassic seas lived. 

Can you believe this petrified wood?! These jammers are 1 1/4″.
