Description from the seller

A true treasure of prehistory

Discover this authentic fossil of Keichousaurus hui, a small marine reptile that lived about 230 million years ago, in the Middle Triassic, long before the rise of the dinosaurs.

This magnificent specimen comes from the famous paleontological deposits of Guizhou Province, China, worldwide renowned for the richness and quality of their fossils.

The skeleton is well preserved and allows observation of many anatomical details, notably the skull, the spine, the ribs, the limbs, and the long tail. The overall arrangement of the skeleton offers a beautiful visual balance and makes it a particularly interesting piece for a collection or an exhibition.

This specimen has a body length of nearly 35 cm, which is very rare among similar specimens. The fossil’s special feature: its matrix shows a natural curvature, an exceptional phenomenon!
