About the Item
This remarkable fossilized Plesiosaurus vertebrae dates to the Mesozoic Era, spanning the Jurassic to Cretaceous periods (approximately 145–66 million years ago). Unearthed in the fossil-rich strata of Morocco, this specimen represents a piece of Earth’s deep marine history and an exquisite example of prehistoric preservation.
The vertebrae exhibit fine anatomical detail — including the distinct curvature of the centrum and textured surface ridges — all naturally encased within the original matrix. Subtle sediment still embedded in the bone provides context to its ancient aquatic environment, where these long-necked marine reptiles once glided through warm prehistoric seas.
Expertly cleaned and stabilized, the specimen maintains excellent structural integrity while preserving the authentic appearance and coloration of fossilized bone. Its presentation allows for both aesthetic appreciation and scientific study, making it an ideal acquisition for serious collectors, paleontology enthusiasts, or curators of natural history.
A genuine relic from a vanished oceanic world, this vertebra is both a conversation piece and a tangible connection to Earth’s evolutionary past.
