Description from the seller

Free shipping!

The skull of Nothosaurus is a kind of marine reptiles. This species was featured in Disney's film 'Fantasia'. This piece is cleaned with pneumatic pen technology, so the skull can appear more three-dimensional, and many parts can be preserved.

The matrix is about 42*22.3*3.5 cm and the skull including neck is about 39 cm.

Nothosaurus was a semi-oceanic animal which probably had a lifestyle similar to that of today's seals. It was about 4 metres (13 ft), with long, webbed toes and possibly a fin on its tail. Their prey includes Keichousaurus.
