The first fossils of a marine reptile, specifically an ichthyosaur, were found in 1811 in England by Mary Anning. Ichthyosaurs were large, dolphin-like creatures that lived during the Mesozoic Era, approximately 245 to 90 million years ago. These fossils provided important evidence for the existence of extinct reptiles in the oceans.
