Another forum suggested Pachystropheus Rhaaticus interclavicle bone and checking the literature on the Rhaetian group it looks like a good shout. Pachystropheus Rhaaticus was a metre long reptile a bot like a small croc from around 200m years ago if i have my facts straight.

Hi Mark,
not quite a croc, think more like the marine iguana on the Galapagos Islands,(as yet no teeth found or attributed to Pachystropheus).
Four footed beastie in the pic is a representation of Pachystropheus, the others being from the top, Birgeria, icthyosaur, an ostichthyian and a hybodontid shark.
