Plesiosaur Tooth Fossil Cryptoclidus eurymerus Oxford Clay Callovian Jurassic – Must Farm Whittlesey Peterborough

Description

Plesiosaur Tooth Fossil

This fossil is identified as a plesiosaur tooth from Cryptoclidus eurymerus, a named Jurassic plesiosaur. The specimen is presented as a natural fossil collectible for anyone interested in prehistoric marine reptiles, Jurassic palaeontology, fossil identification and geological history.

Geological Identification

The supplied identification places this fossil within the Oxford Clay and the Callovian stage of the Jurassic. The Callovian forms part of the Middle Jurassic, a period noted for diverse marine ecosystems and the continued presence of large marine reptiles. Oxford Clay fossils are widely associated with the study of Jurassic marine life and provide an important window into ancient marine environments.

Cryptoclidus eurymerus was a plesiosaur, belonging to a group of extinct marine reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Plesiosaurs are recognised in the fossil record for their specialised body plans and adaptation to life in ancient seas. A tooth is a particularly appealing fossil format for collectors because it represents a direct anatomical element of the animal and offers a compact connection to Jurassic palaeontology.

Specimen Location Information

The supplied location wording for this fossil is Must Farm, Whittlesey, Peterborough. This information forms part of the specimen’s catalogue description and provides a geographical reference for the fossil listing.
