Magalosaurus vertebrae

[Pterygotus]

This is being sold as a megalosaurus vertebrae from France. How does it look and I’m pretty sure megalosaurus isn’t from France so is there a chance that this is poekilopleuron? It is Jurassic late tithonian and is from Re, Charente - Maritime, Dept 17, France.

The thing is, there aren't records of Poekilopleuron from Charente-Maritime... Poekilopleuron remains are more known from Normandy

[Troodon]

Like  The Amature Paleontologist indicated Poekilopleuron is from the middle jurassic of Normandy.  Not very familar with late Jurassic dinosaurs of Charente-Maritime other than some theropod teeth being have been found with the possibly of having resemblance to Megalosauridae. You may want to ask the seller how he arrived at that ID.  I get the sense that little is described from that region, hopfully someone who knows the area will respond

Not very familiar with the dinos of France, but the literature supports the statement that Poekilo is only known from Normandy and that there's no sure evidence that megalosaurid dinos existing in Charente Maritime - in contrary: former finds of "Megalosaurids" from this area turned out to be sauropod remains....

Found this 2014 paper of vertebrates from the tithonian bonebeds of that region.
