A pair of Plesiosaur sp. fossil marine dinosaur vertebrae in a matrix; contained within a plaster field jacket. 4.8 kg, 36 cm

Plesiosaurs were among the first fossil animals to reach the general public's consciousness through the publication of two imaginatively illustrated books by Thomas Hawkins, a noted collector of fossils: Memoirs of Ichthyosauri and Plesiosauri (1834) and The Book of the Great Sea-Dragons (1840). Using the historical models of his times, Hawkins regarded plesiosaurs as monstrous creations of Satan. -
