The general situation is dorsal type, the details are very clear and three-dimensional. Matrix:28.5*18.7*1.7 cm. The matrix has been colored and beautified, but the fossils have not been colored at all. Please note this.

The name derives from Kweichow (now Guizhou Province) in China where the first fossil specimen was discovered in 1957. They are among the most common sauropterygian fossils recovered and are often found as nearly complete, articulated skeletons, making them popular among collectors.
