Description
Plesiosaur Tooth Fossil
This fossil is identified as a plesiosaur tooth from Cryptoclidus eurymerus, a marine reptile associated with the Jurassic Period. It is an appealing addition to a fossil collection, natural history display, educational cabinet, or geology-themed interior. The identification combines the named animal, genus and species with the supplied geological information: Oxford Clay, Callovian, Jurassic.
Identification and Geological Context
Cryptoclidus eurymerus is a plesiosaur identification connected with the Jurassic marine record. Plesiosaurs were aquatic reptiles known from the Mesozoic Era, and their fossils are of particular interest because they help illustrate the diversity of prehistoric marine life. The Callovian is a stage of the Jurassic Period, providing important geological context for fossils associated with this interval.
The specimen is described as a plesiosaur tooth fossil. As a tooth, it represents a durable and recognisable part of the animal and offers a direct connection to the anatomy of a prehistoric marine reptile. The Oxford Clay is well known as a Jurassic geological unit, making this identification especially interesting to collectors who appreciate fossils with clearly stated stratigraphic context.
Locality Information
The supplied locality information is Bradley Fen, Whittlesey, Peterborough. This location forms part of the specimen’s provided collecting information and adds geographical context to the geological identification. Together with the Oxford Clay and Callovian details, it gives the fossil a useful place within a Jurassic-focused collection.
Collector and Display Appeal
This Cryptoclidus eurymerus tooth is suited to collectors interested in plesiosaurs, Jurassic fossils, marine reptiles, Oxford Clay material, and Callovian geology. It can be displayed alongside other fossil teeth, Jurassic specimens, or educational examples of prehistoric life. The compact tooth format makes it practical for a fossil cabinet, desk display, study, classroom resource, or gift for someone fascinated by palaeontology and earth history.
It is also a useful conversation piece for discussing how fossils preserve evidence of extinct animals and how geological stages and formations help place specimens within deep time. The combination of a named species, a recognised Jurassic geological unit, and a stated locality makes this an engaging specimen for both established collectors and those beginning a focused fossil collection.
