Description: | 'Pit 8', 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)] There may be some reference to a particular brick company ('B.C.'?) on the label on the specimen, but this may also be very distorted version of 'Pit 8'. This could conceivably be a starting point for decoding Leeds' pit numbers. Brown's 1994 revision of the Cryptoclididae incorporated the genus *Tricleidus sp.* into the family. He singled out this specimen (pers.comm. 1/99) for comment from all the plesiosaurs in our Leeds material, describing it as 'very rare and very important'. | 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 : PLESICRYP : 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 |
