£ 14.40
GENUINE TRIASSIC FISH TOOTH FOSSIL IN MATRIXThis listing is for a genuine fish tooth fossil preserved in a natural block
from the famous fish, reptile and coprolite bed at Aust Cliff, Bristol, UK. The specimen comes from the Westbury Formation, part of the Penarth Group, and dates to the Upper Triassic. This is a carefully chosen fossil piece with strong British geological provenance, preserving genuine vertebrate fossil material within its original matrix.The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive, allowing you to view the fossil block, matrix and visible tooth detail before purchase. Full sizing and scale details can be seen in the photo. Your specimen was discovered by our own team members, Alister and Alison, and has been carefully cleaned, prepped and treated by Alison. It is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming that this is a genuine fossil specimen suitable for collectors, educational displays, fossil study collections and natural history cabinets. AUST CLIFF FISH, REPTILE AND COPROLITE BEDAust Cliff, near Bristol, is one of the most famous British localities for Upper Triassic vertebrate fossils. The site is especially well known for its fossil-rich bone bed deposits, which have produced a wide variety of remains including fish teeth, shark material, reptile bones, scales, fin spines, coprolites and other durable hard parts from ancient animals.This specimen comes from a block of that famous fossil-bearing horizon. Matrix blocks are especially appealing because they preserve the fossil in its geological setting rather than as a loose isolated tooth. This gives the piece strong display appeal and a direct connection to the ancient seabed where teeth, bones and coprolites accumulated before fossilisation. WESTBURY FORMATION AND PENARTH GROUPThe fossil is from the Westbury Formation, a well-known unit within the Penarth Group. These rocks are associated with the latest part of the Triassic Period, commonly linked with the Rhaetian Stage of the Upper Triassic, shortly before the beginning of the Jurassic Period.During this time, the area now known as Aust Cliff formed part of a shallow marine to coastal environment. Changing sea levels, storms, currents and seabed reworking helped concentrate resistant remains such as teeth, bones, scales and coprolites into fossil-rich layers. Over millions of years, these remains were buried, mineralised and preserved within the rock, forming the classic Aust Cliff bone beds now valued by fossil collectors, geologists and palaeontologists. FISH TOOTH FOSSIL INTERESTFish teeth are among the most durable and collectable vertebrate fossils. Because teeth are hard and mineral-rich, they often preserve more readily than delicate skeletal material, making them an important record of ancient fish life. A fossil fish tooth from the Aust Cliff bone bed provides evidence of the varied aquatic fauna that lived in the Late Triassic seas of southwest Britain.This type of fossil is especially interesting because it represents part of a wider ecosystem that included predatory fish, shark-like animals, marine reptiles and other vertebrates. Teeth from bone bed deposits help illustrate ancient feeding relationships and the diversity of life in shallow marine environments near the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. COLLECTABLE BRITISH TRIASSIC VERTEBRATE FOSSILThis fish tooth fossil from Aust Cliff is a desirable specimen for collectors of British fossils, Triassic fossils, vertebrate fossils, fossil fish material, bone bed specimens and natural history display pieces. Its provenance from Aust Cliff, Bristol, together with its Westbury Formation and Penarth Group origin, gives it excellent geological context and collectable appeal.The specimen has been carefully selected for its authenticity, natural appearance and educational value. As the photograph shows the exact fossil supplied, this listing provides a clear and honest view of the piece you will receive. With its genuine Upper Triassic age, classic UK locality, natural matrix preservation and included Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, this fish tooth fossil block offers a direct connection to the ancient marine world of prehistoric Britain.
