Hi all this is the second Hampton Vale id. I found this when wet sifting through some Hampton Vale Oxford clay. If it were from any other place I would say ammonite but I have only ever heard of the ammonite kosmoceras being found here and they have ridging. With this in mind I thought rib. The only animals with this kind of curve and shape of rib found here are plesiosaur pliosaur and ichthyosaur. I was able to rule out ichthyosaur due to shape and I am thinking plesiosaur rib section. Any confirmation or other help with id would be greatly appreciated.

Ps at its longest point it is 1.5cm
