Recommended Posts

I had a great day fossil hunting yesterday! I found my first crocodile vert! Which are even rarer than ichthyosaur verts on the yorkshire coast! F0F7B2B4-31A1-46C7-95F6-56618AA03AC9.thumb.jpeg.c61258189a2ec0c46b9bc4eb99174283.jpeg

 

Then i found articulated 4 and a half icthyosaur verts! With 3 neurals, will polish up great!

Edit

 

I’ve been told

Judging from the strong lateral keel on the vert, I’d say that this is a mid-cervical vertebra of the long-necked plesiosaur microcleidus! 

Nice :)

Theres 5 neural archs attached to them, not sure if they’ll be able to be prepped though becaude so thin. Probably just polish.

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...
