Description
Fossil Identification
This listing is for a plesiosaur tooth identified as Cryptoclidus eurymerus. It is a genuine fossil specimen with strong appeal for collectors of Jurassic fossils, marine reptiles, palaeontology and natural history. The identification makes this an interesting addition to a fossil collection, educational display or geological cabinet.
The fossil is described as a plesiosaur tooth, providing a direct connection to one of the best-known groups of extinct marine reptiles. Plesiosaurs lived in ancient marine environments during the Mesozoic Era, and their fossil remains are valued for the insight they provide into prehistoric life, evolution and past ecosystems. A tooth fossil is a particularly accessible way to study the preserved remains of these animals while adding a distinctive natural-history object to a collection.
Geological Context
The supplied geological identification is Oxford Clay, Callovian, Jurassic. The Callovian is a stage within the Jurassic Period, placing this specimen within an important interval of Mesozoic geological history. Oxford Clay is widely recognised in palaeontological collecting for its fossil-bearing marine deposits and for the range of Jurassic organisms associated with them.
This combination of taxonomic identification and geological information makes the specimen suitable for collectors who enjoy recording not only what a fossil is, but also the geological setting in which it was found. It can be displayed alongside other Jurassic fossils, marine reptile specimens or geological examples from the Oxford Clay.
Locality Information
The locality supplied for this fossil is Bradley Fen, Whittlesey, Peterborough. This location information adds useful context for cataloguing, display labels and collection records. The specimen can be presented as a focused example of Jurassic palaeontology connected with the Oxford Clay and the Callovian stage.
