Description: | Peterborough [district, Cambridgeshire], [England] [probably ex.] [Bed 10 (Hudson & Martill, 1994)], Oxford Clay [Formation, Peterborough Member, ("Gryphaea and Reptile Beds")], [*Kosmoceras jason jason* Zone],[Middle Callovian], [Jurassic (Middle)] ...nasals (2, some damage to middle of L), jugals (L frag + PF junction of R), prefrontals (2), frontal (L frag.), upper jaw teeth (5/0), sockets for around 24; mid-skull: lacrimal (L visible); lower skull: articular (R), prearticular (R), angulars (2, part of L missing), surangulars (2, part of L missing), coronoids (R, + ramus of L), splenials (2), dentaries (2, mid-part of L missing), lower jaw teeth (0/2), sockets for up to 21; unplaced teeth (40 - 8 of them with tips - 4 of these unplaced teeth have been kept separately, as they were stored with V1010 for an unknown reason, despite being clearly marked); post-cranial: 1 left dorsal transverse process.
The presence of a label for '136' does not refer to the listing in the Eyebury Catalogue at the time of the sale of the Second Collection.
Identification as *Metriorhynchus superciliosus* on the basis of tooth number (20 or more) in upper jaw, and that the nasals and pre-maxillaries are separated from contact by some 90mm seems reasonable, despite the lateral distortion to the dorsum of the muzzle bones. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VERTTETRREPTIL : CROCMETR : FOSSIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
