got a nice fossil on a fair a week ago and started prep. Think it is a part of the vertebrae-column of a Plesiosaur, reminds me to posterior cervical vertebrae. What do you think? Big one, total size of the nodule is 40 cm, what you see is around 30 cm

If from Asfla, then I'd indeed say plesiosaur is most likely, as this is clearly reptile and not mosasaurid - that is, not Tethysaurus nopscai.
