£ 24.00
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 preserving genuine vertebrate fossil material within its natural matrix from one of Britain’s classic Triassic fossil localities.The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive, allowing you to see the fossil block, matrix and visible fossil 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 and making it a desirable piece for collectors, fossil displays, educational use and natural history collections. 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 particularly well known for its fossil-rich bone bed deposits, commonly associated with fish teeth, reptile bones, shark material, scales, spines, coprolites and other durable remains from ancient animals.This specimen contains both reptile bone and fish tooth material preserved within a natural block from that important fossil-bearing horizon. Matrix blocks are especially collectable because they retain the character of the original deposit, showing fossil remains in geological context rather than as loose isolated pieces. This gives the specimen strong display appeal and a direct connection to the ancient seabed where these remains accumulated. WESTBURY FORMATION AND PENARTH GROUPThe fossil comes 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 that is now Aust Cliff formed part of a shallow marine to coastal environment. Changing sea levels, currents, storms and seabed reworking helped concentrate resistant remains such as bones, teeth, 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 that are now valued by collectors, geologists and palaeontologists. REPTILE BONE AND FISH TOOTH INTERESTA fossil block containing both reptile bone and fish tooth material is a fascinating example of Late Triassic vertebrate life. The reptile bone records the presence of larger animals living in or around the ancient marine environment, while the fish tooth represents part of the diverse fish fauna that shared the same waters.Fish teeth are among the most durable vertebrate fossils and are often well preserved in bone bed deposits. Reptile bones are highly desirable because they provide evidence of larger prehistoric animals within the ecosystem. Together, these fossil types help illustrate the complex food webs of the Upper Triassic, where fish, shark-like animals, marine reptiles and other vertebrates lived within a dynamic coastal marine setting. COLLECTABLE BRITISH TRIASSIC VERTEBRATE 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 display pieces. Its provenance from Aust Cliff, Bristol, together with the Westbury Formation and Penarth Group origin, gives it strong geological context and excellent 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 fossil block offers a direct connection to the ancient marine world of prehistoric Britain.
