Description from the seller

Keichousaurus fossil (Guizhou, China) –-

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

The specimen is presented on a natural rock plaque and preserves a particularly aesthetic skeleton with the skull, ribs, spine, limbs, and long tail visible.

Characteristics :

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

* Plate dimensions: 30x19.8x1.7 cm
* Weight: 2330 g

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

This fossil shows excellent anatomical preservation and makes a beautiful collectible for paleontology enthusiasts, fossil collectors, or curiosity cabinets. The contrast between the dark bones and the light matrix particularly highlights the skeleton.
