Description from the seller

A true prehistoric treasure

The skeleton is well preserved and reveals many anatomical details, including the skull, backbone, ribs, limbs, and long tail. The overall arrangement of the skeleton creates a pleasing visual balance, making it a particularly interesting piece for a collection or display.

This specimen measures nearly 35 cm in body length, which is very rare among similar specimens. The special feature of this fossil: its matrix has a natural curve, an exceptional phenomenon!
