Part of a jawbone and teeth of an ichthyosaur. These huge sea reptiles lived over 100 million years ago when warm seas covered the land. They hunted fish which they caught in their cone-shaped teeth. The largest could grow up to 16 metres. This fossil was discovered in the area around Lyme Regis and eventually end up in Folkestone Museum, as an example of what swam off Folkestone’s shores millions of years ago.
