Can someone help me identify the tooth fossil found at Aust Cliff, Bristol, UK? According to the seller, this fossil is presumed to be a Triassic plesiosaur tooth, likely classified as a basal plesiosaur. Nevertheless, the striation pattern on the lingual side of the tooth raises doubts about whether it could also be an ichthyosaur tooth.

Hi, I've got a bit of a collection of large blocks from the Aust bone bed and not sure I'm doing the best job prepping them. So far I've been breaking them with a hammer and then acid prepping anything interesting I find with vinegar. The bones are usually fragments because they break when splitting the blocks. How is this material best approached, can anyone give some advice please?

I visted Aust Cliff on the River Severn, Gloucestershire UK back in Feburary and managed to find a large block of the 'Rhaetic Bone Bed' . Lots of bone fragments, fish teeth, even a shark fin spine! But my best finds are a paddle bone and large tooth. (Still got plenty more rock pieces to break open and search for more, so a long term project...) However i would like to I.D this Ichthyosaur in particular. Does anyone know about the early ichthyosaurs from the late Triassic? Age: 208 - 201mya (Late Triassic: Rhaetian) - Aust Cliff Paddle bone - humerus? Tooth (broken off tip sadly):

Hi, I found this bone at Aust cliff (late Triassic), I know that most bones from Aust are likely Plesiosaur or Ichthyosaur, but are often unidentifiable. Is it possible to identify this bone? It seems to have split around the back, so could probably be only half of the bone, and it looks to be the end of a bone. I've ordered a book on Rhaetian fossils, so hopefully that will make things easier. It measures about 8 cm across. Unfortunately I do not have anything with me to prepare it. Many thanks.

Hi, I went to Aust cliffs today. I brought back some material, and noticed these. Could they be bone fragments? They are probably not identifiable, but I think if they are bone fragments would most likely be from an Ichthyosaur or Plesiosaur. I think the one on the right isn't a bit of bone, rather an interesting bit of rock. Many thanks.
