£ 120.00
GENUINE REPTILE BONE AND FISH TOOTH FOSSIL BLOCKThis listing is for a genuine reptile bone and fish tooth fossil 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 the photograph showing the actual specimen you will receive. 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 and making it ideal for collectors of British fossils, vertebrate fossils, Triassic fossils, shark and fish material, reptile remains and natural history display pieces. FAMOUS AUST CLIFF BONE BED SPECIMENAust Cliff, near Bristol, is one of the classic British localities for Upper Triassic vertebrate fossils. It is particularly well known for its fossil-rich fish, reptile and coprolite bed, a bone bed deposit that has produced a wide variety of fossil remains including fish teeth, shark material, reptile bones, scales, spines, coprolites and other durable hard parts from ancient animals.This specimen contains both reptile bone and fish tooth material preserved within a natural block from that famous fossil-bearing horizon. Matrix blocks like this are highly collectable because they retain the natural character of the original deposit, showing the fossil material in context rather than as isolated loose pieces. They offer a direct glimpse into the ancient seabed where bones, teeth and coprolites became concentrated before fossilisation. UPPER TRIASSIC GEOLOGICAL SETTINGThe fossil comes from the Westbury Formation of the Penarth Group, an important Late Triassic rock unit exposed around the Bristol Channel region. These rocks are commonly associated with the Rhaetian Stage of the Upper Triassic, shortly before the beginning of the Jurassic Period.During this time, the area that is now 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, creating the famous bone beds now valued by fossil collectors and geologists. REPTILE BONE AND FISH TOOTH INTERESTA fossil block containing both reptile bone and fish tooth material is a fascinating representation of Late Triassic marine life. The reptile bone material records the presence of larger vertebrate animals living in or around the ancient sea, while the fish tooth represents the diverse fish fauna that shared the same environment.Fish teeth are especially durable and often preserve well in bone bed deposits, making them important indicators of prehistoric aquatic ecosystems. Reptile bones are also highly desirable because they provide evidence of the larger animals that inhabited these coastal and marine settings. Together, the two fossil types help illustrate a rich food web that included fishes, shark-like animals, marine reptiles and other vertebrates. COLLECTABLE BRITISH TRIASSIC FOSSILThis reptile bone and fish tooth fossil from Aust Cliff is a desirable specimen for collectors of British fossils, Triassic fossils, vertebrate fossils, fossil fish teeth, reptile bone material and natural history specimens. Its provenance from Aust Cliff, Bristol, together with its Westbury Formation and Penarth Group origin, gives it strong geological context and excellent collectable appeal.The specimen has been carefully selected for its natural appearance, authenticity and display value. As the photograph shows the exact fossil supplied, you can buy with confidence knowing precisely which piece will be received. With its genuine Upper Triassic age, classic UK locality, bone bed preservation and included Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, this fossil block offers a direct connection to the ancient marine world of prehistoric Britain.
