AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a large Hyphalosaurus fossil, the fossil is well preserved. The details are kept beautifully. The size is about 75 cm. There is also the head and neck of another Hyphalosaurus nearby.

The appearance of Hyphalosaurus is similar to that of small Nothosauroidea, which are marine reptiles that became extinct during the Triassic. These similarities are the result of driving the convergent evolution, and it does not mean that they have an evolutionary relationship.
