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)] Placed in Low Humidity Room not for conservation, but space/size/height reasons. Distal end of humerus appears to be 'unnaturally curtailled', although whether through disease or predation is unclear (as problem is all across the distal end, it seems unlikely that it is predation damage, although some possible tooth marks are apparent near the end [possible tooth fragment still embedded - or just a shellfish occupying the same hole?!] - it would seem the act of an 'unnaturally careful eater' (!) to nibble all around the distal end of the humerus!!). Enough of the distal expansion in the area of the radius is present, however, to indicate its species. | 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 : BIOPATH : ICHNOMARK : 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 |
