Ophthalmosaurus, illustration
Illustration of Ophthalmosaurus, a British marine reptile from the late Jurassic period (165 to 150 million years ago). It belonged to the ichthyosaur group, which were similar to dolphins with long streamlined bodies, long snouts and powerful tails. They also had massive eyes (the name ophthalmosaurus means eye reptile) allowing them to hunt squid and fish at great depths. Ichthyosaurs were viviparous (gave birth to live young)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible Ophthalmosaurus, a remarkable marine reptile that once roamed the British waters during the late Jurassic period. Created through stunning computer-generated artwork, this scientifically accurate illustration brings to life the beauty and majesty of this prehistoric creature. Belonging to the ichthyosaur group, which shared similarities with modern-day dolphins, Ophthalmosaurus possessed a long streamlined body, an elongated snout, and a powerful tail. However, what truly set them apart were their massive eyes - hence their name "eye reptile". These extraordinary eyes allowed them to navigate and hunt with precision in great depths where they pursued squid and fish. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. The three-dimensional rendering captures both the gracefulness and power of Ophthalmosaurus as it gracefully glides through ancient seas. With its split view perspective showcasing both topside and underwater views, viewers are transported back millions of years into a world teeming with vibrant sealife. Notably viviparous creatures (giving birth to live young), these magnificent reptiles had an intriguing reproductive process that further adds to their allure. This scientific masterpiece serves as a testament to our fascination with Earth's history while reminding us of the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' surface. Mark Garlick's exceptional work presented by Fine Art Storehouse ensures that admirers can bring home a piece of natural history artistry that will captivate for generations to come.
