Description
Plesiosaur Flipper Bone Fossil
This fossil specimen is identified as a Plesiosaur Flipper Bone Fossil, associated with the supplied identification “ower Lias, Jurassic Coast.” It is a distinctive addition for collectors of marine reptiles, Jurassic fossils and natural history specimens. The fossil is presented as a preserved flipper bone from a plesiosaur, an extinct marine reptile from the dinosaur age.
Plesiosaur Fossil Context
Plesiosaurs were long-necked marine reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Although they lived alongside dinosaurs, plesiosaurs were reptiles rather than dinosaurs themselves. Their flippers were adapted for movement through marine environments, making flipper bones especially relevant to collectors interested in fossil vertebrates, prehistoric marine life and Jurassic palaeontology.
This specimen is associated with the Jurassic Coast and the supplied “ower Lias” identification. The Jurassic Coast is widely recognised for its fossil-bearing coastal geology and its importance to the study of prehistoric life. A plesiosaur fossil from this setting makes an engaging display piece for a fossil cabinet, geological collection, study room or educational display.
Location and Collection
The supplied location information identifies the specimen with Black Ven, Lyme Regis Bay, Dorset, UK. Lyme Regis and the surrounding Jurassic Coast are well known among fossil collectors for marine fossils and geological discoveries. This specimen is also identified as being from the Alice Purnell Collection, adding a specific collection history to its presentation.
Collector Display
The fossil’s subject, Jurassic association and marine reptile identification make it suitable for collectors of plesiosaur fossils, Jurassic Coast material, vertebrate fossils and palaeontological curiosities. It can be displayed as an individual geological specimen or included within a wider collection featuring ammonites, marine reptiles, fossil bones and Jurassic natural history.
