Description from the seller
A beautiful fossil find of Plesiosaurus Dolichodeirus vertebrae mounted artfully on a decorative base made to order, to be displayed proudly in a study, living room or Wunderkammer.
The name of this enormous reptile comes from the Greek "plesios" and "sauros" meaning close to a lizard.
Plesiosaurus Dolichodeirus is the best-known representative of that group of marine reptiles known as plesiosaurs.
Its fossil remains date to the Early Jurassic, and from studying them it has been determined that it had a short tail and four highly developed flippers, while the average length was between 3 and 5 meters.
Fossil size: 280 x x 170 x 140 mm
Weight: 4435 g
Era: Early Jurassic, 190-180 Ma
