Fossil Snake Vertebra PALAEOPHIS TOLIAPICUS London Clay Eocene Isle of Sheppey Kent UK Authentic Specimen

This listing features a fossilised vertebra of the extinct marine snake Palaeophis toliapicus, from the renowned London Clay Formation of the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, UK. This is a carefully selected specimen from the Lower Eocene Epoch, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Palaeophis toliapicus is an extinct marine snake, part of the family Palaeophiidae, known for their elongated vertebrae and presumed aquatic adaptations. These snakes lived during the Ypresian Stage of the Eocene (~56 to 47.8 million years ago) and are considered some of the earliest large marine snakes to evolve after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.

The London Clay Formation is a world-famous fossil-bearing deposit laid down in a subtropical marine shelf environment, rich in marine and terrestrial fauna. The Isle of Sheppey exposures are particularly renowned for vertebrate fossils, including sharks, crocodiles, turtles, and snakes such as Palaeophis.

Morphological Features:

Elongated centrum with a slightly compressed form

Lateral foramina (small holes for blood vessels)

Well-defined neural canal and arch facets

Adaptations suggest a streamlined body ideal for swimming

These features make the vertebrae of Palaeophis instantly recognisable and highly sought after by collectors and researchers alike. Their rarity and scientific importance make them outstanding additions to any vertebrate fossil collection.

This is the exact specimen photographed for the listing. Scale rule cubes/squares = 1cm. Please refer to the image for full sizing.
