Description
Identification and Geological Setting
This listing features a Myliobatis striatus eagle ray tooth fossil palate. The specimen is identified with Phosphate Deposits and comes from the Ypresian, Lower Eocene. The recorded locality is Oued Oussan, Morocco, giving the fossil a clearly defined geological and geographical context for collectors of palaeontology, fossil teeth and early Eocene material.
The Ypresian is a stage of the Eocene Epoch and represents the early part of the Eocene. Fossils associated with this interval are of interest because they document life from an important period in the development of modern Cenozoic ecosystems. Phosphate deposits are widely recognised in palaeontological collecting for their association with fossil material, making this identification relevant to collectors who specialise in fossil-bearing deposits and marine vertebrate remains.
Myliobatis striatus Eagle Ray Fossil
Myliobatis identifies the eagle ray group represented by this fossil, while striatus provides the supplied species identification. The product is described specifically as a tooth fossil palate, making it an appealing addition to collections focused on fossil dentition, marine vertebrates, rays and scientifically labelled specimens. Eagle rays are batoid fishes, and their fossil record is represented in palaeontological collections through preserved dental material and other durable remains.
This piece is suitable for collectors building a themed display of Eocene fossils, Moroccan fossils, phosphate deposit specimens or fossil ray material. It can also be used as an educational object when discussing fossil identification, geological stages, palaeoenvironments and the preservation of marine vertebrate remains. The supplied identification and locality wording make it straightforward to catalogue alongside other specimens from the Ypresian Lower Eocene.
Collection and Documentation
The specimen is from the Alice Purnell Collection. Its collection association adds useful catalogue context for collectors who value named collections and documented specimen presentation. The supplied identification, geological age, deposit type and locality can be retained with the fossil for display, study and future collection records.
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.

Display and Collector Use
A Myliobatis striatus tooth fossil palate can be displayed in a fossil cabinet, geological display, classroom collection or marine palaeontology grouping. Its combination of an identified eagle ray fossil, Ypresian Lower Eocene age, phosphate deposit association and Oued Oussan, Morocco locality gives it several useful catalogue keywords for collectors and researchers. It is particularly suited to displays exploring fossil rays, Cenozoic marine life, Eocene geology and Moroccan fossil localities.
