Ichthyosaurs (from the Greek, meaning 'fish lizard') are extinct marine reptiles which resembled modern dolphins in appearance; the first complete UK specimen was found by the famous fossil hunter Mary Anning (1799-1847 AD) when she was just 12 years of age; the fossil she found is now in the Natural History Museum, London.
