Reverse description A dramatically composed design by paleoartist Robert Nicholls depicting a colourised Temnodontosaurus ichthyosaur in three-quarter view, its elongated snout and powerful body rendered in blue-grey tones dominating the central field. Beneath the creature lies a colourised fossil skull of the same species, shown in warm ochre tones and serving as a visual reference to the specimen discovered by Mary Anning in 1811. A decorative fern motif appears to the lower right of the field, accompanied by the engraver's initials RN. The species name arcs along the upper border and the attribution legend MARY ANNING 1811 appears along the lower border.
