The focal specimen is MH 432 from the Posidonia Shale and is housed at the Urweltmuseum Hauff, Holzmaden.
Specimen MH 432 preserves scaleless skin layers, a subcutaneous blubber-like layer and eumelanin-bearing structures in Stenopterygius; countershading, thermoregulation and metabolic consequences are comparative interpretations rather than directly measured physiology.
