DatFossilBoy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hey guys. I decided to share with you my two very recent reptile fossils that a friend kindly gave to me as a late birthday gift. It is a incredibly detailed neural arch bone (I believe) from a Plesiosaur. Feel free to tell me which part of the skull this belonged to as I can’t find any answers on Internet. The second gift is a amazing ichthyosaurus plate with from left to right: - a ichthy skull bone - a small paddle bone -a rib -a cute little worn tooth ( very interesting because you can see the inside) Also added to those are three fossils I bought at Lyme Regis : ichthyosaurus : vertebra,vertebra and paddle bone. The smaller piece I believe it to be a paddle bone (found it myself). The big vertebra I believe is from an adult Ichthyosaurus. That is it for my british reptile fossils, always eager to get more regards 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 A rather decent collection of bits, you've got some very attractive specimens there. Love the little bones, i remember finding pieces like this at Lyme Regis when I was a lad. Thanks for sharing. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

indominus rex Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 There is also a paddle bone in the middle of the Icthyosaurus slate. Nice collection, I am especially fond of the massive Icthy vertebra. Also I think this article will help https://plesiosauria.com/anatomy.php 2 Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone guy Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I love that plate. Just enough there to be a cool specimen, and just enough not there to not be scientifically important. Really good acquisition. And all the others are beauties! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
