AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fossil of Keichousaurus (Guizhou, China) –-

Magnificent fossil of Keichousaurus hui, a Middle Triassic marine reptile dating to about 240 million years ago.

The specimen is displayed on a natural rock plate and preserves a particularly aesthetic skeleton with the skull, ribs, spine, limbs, and the long tail visible. The entire specimen is traversed by numerous quartz veins, creating a very singular pattern and an absolutely unique appearance.

Characteristics :

* Species: Keichousaurus hui
* Age: Middle Triassic (~240 million years)
* Provenance: Guizhou Province, China

* Plate dimensions: 29.9x20x1.8 cm
* Weight: 3002 g

* A plate of rock of the same nature has been glued to the reverse to reinforce the whole. This restoration does not affect the presentation of the fossil.

Description :
This fossil shows excellent anatomical conservation and constitutes a beautiful collectible for paleontology enthusiasts, fossil collectors, or curiosity cabinets. The contrast between the black bones and the light matrix especially highlights the skeleton.

* Careful packaging and secure shipping. Shipping to France only via Mondial Relay or Chronopost Shop2Shop.
