AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Keichousauris Hui
Middle Triassic (245 million years ago)
Mudstone and silts from Guizhou, China.
Handcrafted
Like all dinosaurs, Keichousaurus belonged to the reptile family. Due to its heavy bone structure, scientists believe that these reptiles were on the verge of making the evolutionary step from sea to land. These reptiles were killed as a result of a volcanic eruption about 245 million years ago. When the volcanic ash dried, cracks formed. These cracks were filled with water, which created the calcite veins often visible in the rock. The stone slabs often break along these veins. This specimen also experienced this, as it was broken in several places and professionally reassembled.
Description:
Stunning rare beautifully prepared keichousaurus with many details. The matrix measures 8.6 cm x 6.8 cm and is 0.8 cm thick. The keichousaurus measures 8 cm. The piece is reinforced to ensure it remains in good condition. A magnificent decorative fossil.
Shipment is sent with tracking and insurance.
