Plesiosaur Bone Ammonite Fossil Block Jurassic Yorkshire UK COA Saltwick Bay Upper Toarcian Marine Reptile Display Specimen
£ 120.00
GENUINE PLESIOSAUR BONE AND AMMONITE FOSSIL BLOCKThis listing is for a genuine plesiosaur bone and ammonite fossil block from the
Upper Toarcian, Jurassic, collected from Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. This is a carefully chosen fossil specimen with excellent British Jurassic provenance, combining marine reptile bone material with ammonite fossil interest in a natural display block.The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive, allowing you to view the fossil bone, ammonite detail, surrounding matrix and natural presentation 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, natural history cabinets and British Jurassic fossil collections. PLESIOSAUR FOSSIL INTERESTPlesiosaurs were extinct marine reptiles that lived in the seas of the Mesozoic Era. They were not dinosaurs, but highly adapted ocean-going reptiles with powerful bodies, paddle-like limbs and a predatory lifestyle. Many plesiosaurs had long necks and small heads, while other related forms had shorter necks and larger skulls, but all were specialised for life in marine environments.A plesiosaur bone fossil is an especially collectable vertebrate fossil because it represents part of a large prehistoric marine reptile rather than a more commonly encountered shell or invertebrate fossil. Bone material from Jurassic marine reptiles provides a direct link to the animals that hunted, swam and lived in the ancient seas that once covered parts of Britain. AMMONITE AND MARINE FOSSIL ASSOCIATIONThis fossil block also contains ammonite material, adding further Jurassic interest to the specimen. Ammonites were extinct marine cephalopods related to modern squid, octopus and nautilus, but they lived inside coiled, chambered shells. They are among the most recognisable fossils from the Jurassic Period and are highly valued by collectors for their spiral form, ribbing and scientific importance.Ammonites are also important index fossils because many species evolved rapidly and were widespread in ancient seas. Their presence helps illustrate the rich marine ecosystem of the Upper Toarcian, where ammonites, belemnites, fish, marine reptiles and other sea life shared the same environment. A block containing both plesiosaur bone and ammonite material is a particularly interesting display piece because it preserves evidence of different parts of the same Jurassic marine world. UPPER TOARCIAN JURASSIC AGEThis specimen dates to the Upper Toarcian, part of the Lower Jurassic. The Toarcian Stage is an important interval in Jurassic geology, dating to around 183 to 174 million years ago. During this time, much of what is now the United Kingdom was covered by warm shallow seas, with sediment accumulating on the seabed and preserving the remains of marine animals.The Upper Toarcian rocks of the Yorkshire coast are known for marine fossils, including ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, fish material and marine reptile remains. Fossil blocks from these deposits are appealing because they preserve a natural association of fossils within the original matrix, giving the specimen strong geological character as well as display value. SALTWICK BAY, NORTH YORKSHIRE LOCALITYSaltwick Bay, North Yorkshire is part of the famous Yorkshire coast, one of the classic fossil-collecting regions of the United Kingdom. The cliffs and foreshore around this area expose Jurassic rocks that have been studied and collected for generations. Fossils from this region are prized for their British provenance, historic geological importance and connection to the ancient seas of northern England.The locality is particularly appealing to collectors because it has produced a wide variety of Jurassic marine fossils. A plesiosaur bone and ammonite block from Saltwick Bay offers a tangible connection to this fossil-rich coastline and the prehistoric animals that lived there millions of years ago. COLLECTABLE BRITISH JURASSIC DISPLAY FOSSILThis plesiosaur bone and ammonite fossil block from Saltwick Bay is a desirable specimen for collectors of British fossils, Jurassic fossils, marine reptile fossils, ammonites, Yorkshire fossils and natural history display pieces. Its combination of vertebrate fossil material and ammonite association gives it strong educational and collectable appeal.The specimen has been carefully selected for authenticity, natural appearance and geological interest. With its genuine Jurassic age, Upper Toarcian provenance, classic North Yorkshire locality, actual-specimen photograph and included Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, this fossil block offers a direct connection to the ancient marine world of Jurassic Britain.
