This is a very rare Monjurosuchus fossil belongs to Choristodera. The skeletal structure is exceptionally well-preserved, including the skull, torso, limbs, and tail. This is a rare museum treasure.

The specimen is about 28 cm.

The feet of Monjurosuchus are webbed, with skin covering all parts of the foot but the short claws. The limbs were robust and the hips are wide. The long, slender tail shows no adaptations for its presumed semi-aquatic lifestyle. Gastralia are present on the underside of Monjurosuchus and are much thinner than the ribs. Intestinal contents are preserved between the gastralia and ribs of one specimen. Most of the material is sediment, but there are also fragments of what may be arthropod cuticle, indicating that Monjurosuchus may have fed on invertebrates.
