Lot 158 Set In Stone
The first of these hideous monsters has the snout of a porpoise, the head of a lizard, the teeth of a crocodile the most fearful of all antediluvian reptiles, the world-renowned Ichthyosaurus or great fish lizard. Jules Vernes's, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth famously featured such "living fossils" deep beneath the Earth's crust. Their ability to capture our imagination hasn't changed since 1871; these wonderful fossils, with their sculptural qualities are a fabulous addition to any interior, and are prized by collectors worldwide.
