Description from the seller

Cretaceous Treasure|Psittacosaurus Collector’s Specimen

This 103cm-long Psittacosaurus is a truly exceptional specimen, remarkable for the following qualities:

• Completely Original – all bones originate from the same individual, without composite additions.
• Expert Skull Preparation – the internal matrix of the skull has been carefully removed, allowing the specimen to be mounted and making it highly suitable for both display and research.
• Ideal Size – at 103cm in length, the skeleton represents the proportions of a subadult to adult Psittacosaurus, perfectly suited for private collections or professional exhibition.
• The coloration of the fossil is entirely the result of natural mineralization (hematite and limonite), with no artificial coloring involved.

The entire skeleton consists of genuine fossil bone. Aside from inevitable small fractures and reattachments caused during excavation and preparation, no artificial restoration materials have been applied.

Combining scientific value with aesthetic appeal, this specimen is an outstanding choice for museum display, advanced private collections, or as a foundation for academic study.
