Plesiosaur bone fragment - Fossil fragment - Plesiosauria sp. - 10.1 cm - 7.2 cm (No Reserve Price)

Fragment of Plesiosaur Radius – Cretaceous, Madagascar This specimen is a fragment of a plesiosaur radius, belonging to one of the iconic marine reptiles that inhabited the Cretaceous oceans. Collected from the phosphate-rich deposits of the Betiouka region near Tulear, Madagascar, the fossil preserves the dense bone structure and characteristic texture of the articular end, offering a tangible glimpse into the limb anatomy of these ancient predators. The piece shows excellent natural surface detail, with the typical compact morphology of plesiosaur limb elements still clearly visible. Mounted on a clear acrylic display stand (included), it makes both a scientifically valuable addition to a collection and an attractive decorative piece.
