The ancient fish known as Pachycormus bollensis swam in the oceans during the Jurassic geological period about 190 million years ago. The Science Museum purchased this beautiful specimen from Ward’s Natural Science Establishment in 1895. The fossil was collected from the Lias Formation in Holzmaden, Germany.
