Fossil Barasaurus Nodule - Fossil mortality plate - Barasaurus besairiei - 22.5 cm - 18 cm

This impressive fossil nodule preserves the articulated remains of Barasaurus, a rare reptile from the Late Permian of Madagascar. Unearthed from the fossil-rich beds of the Isalo Plateau, it offers a vivid glimpse into the anatomy of this important early reptile. The split nodule reveals the skeleton across both halves of the rock, with limbs, digits, and vertebrae clearly visible. The fine preservation highlights the delicate structure of the animal, capturing remarkable detail that makes this specimen especially captivating. An outstanding example from Madagascar’s world-renowned fossil beds, this Barasaurus nodule is both scientifically valuable and visually striking — a piece that connects us directly to life over 250 million years ago.
