Introduction
The Ichthyosaur is a perserved marine fossil skull that was buried in a vertical, nose-down position at 90 degrees through three geologic layers. Scientists found it in 1999 in an abandoned quarry north of Switzerland, near Hauenstein. It took many painstacking months of careful digging to eventually release the specimen from its enclosure within the rock.
However, one thing seperates the ichthyosaur from many other fossils of all types which is that its head was especially perserved in three dimensions, meaning it was not flattened by the weight of the sediments above.

Evolutionary Problems With Ichthyosaur
Since the fossil was found going through three geologic layers several questions are blatent and create a very logical contradictory basis against evolutionary assumptions about such an event. How could the ichthyosaur or any animal for that matter be fossilized over a million years? Wouldn't it be scavanged? To most logical scientists and observant creationists the obvioius implication is that the assumption of millions of years is rather unneccesary to explain such an event.
