AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Female Keichousaurus fossil, the animal is about 22 cm long (without bending). The overall condition is abdominal type. The details are clear. The white line is a quartz line.
The skeleton is a bit messy, so there is no reserve price and free shipping!
Keichousaurus (key-cho-saurus) is a genus of marine reptile in the pachypleurosaur family that went extinct at the end of the Triassic during the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. 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.
