Hi, I found this tooth- like fossil in a piece of bone bed in Aust, by the Severn Bridge in Bristol UK. I think it is an Icthyosaur tooth but I would like an expert opinion as I am a complete amateur. When I first found it I thought it was a bit of bone and stored it away in my shed. When I rediscovered it last week, it was crumbling badly so I did apply a bit of super glue to it to stabilise it and that's why it's a bit shiny. I know that's probably a bad thing to do but otherwise it would have disintegrated. Please could someone also advise what I should have done to stabilise it for future reference. Thank you,

I managed another trip to Aust and as I had a better idea what I was looking for managed to get a few bits of bone bed to sift through back home - one of whch was this nicely preserved piece of what I presume is reptile bone (approx 6cm long?) My guess is a partial rib (although it is completely flat, with no visible curvature), in which case given size and location most probably Pachystropheus, but I'd love to get any more thoughts.
