Jurassic marine life ID

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

Would be great to have the following pieces ID'ed. Jurassic shallow water sea (Kimmeridgian-Tithonian, possible Hauterivian). Sorry for varnish. Thank you.

1. Large vertebra, that doesnt look like usual plesiosaur, weight 1,4 kg. If it is something terrestial, it would have high scientific value. Already asked for ID but didnt get many replies.

2. Small vertebra, that doesnt exactly look to me like normal ichthyosaur (like the ones to the right)

Thanks, the small vert does look like Ichthyosaur but I had a little hope it came from a different, less common animal

Are plesio and ichthyo so commonly where you search? If so, then you are a lucky men :)

Well, single Ichthyosaur verts are among the most common finds indeed, which is not surprising considering how many of them each animal had (180 or so). Unfortunately other bone material is much less common:(
