Keichousaurus hui, a nicely preserved rare juvenile specimen from the Early Triassic Falang–Huxia Formation in Guanglin, Guizhou, China, prepared by micro sandblasting and in natural condition with Original/official authenticity.
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Keichousaurus hui, Young 1958 (marine reptile Pachypleurosauridae family)
Location: Guanglin, Guizhou Province of China
Geological Formation: Falang - Huxia Formation
Age: Early Triassic (~242 million years ago)
Size: 4.5 cm - Matrix: 7 cm x 4.5 cm x 1.5 cm
Ref: J593
Observations: Truly outstanding well preserved Keichousaurus juvenile baby specimen. Its preservation is particularly remarkable. It is very common to find many fake or heavily restored Keichousaurus specimens on the market. However, this specimen is quite nice.
The preservation of the bones is impressive, and the level of detail is outstanding, mainly at the skull and full vertebrae from the neck, which is fully pristine perfect even preserving tiny skull bones. Also the tiny hands and legs bones (the fingers with their carpals, tarsals and phalanges), as well as the scapular and pelvic girdles. The tail vertebrae are also almost intact.
It is a nice collector piece, far away from the typical bullshit. The specimen has been carefully prepared professionally using micro sandblasting. The restorations carried out consist primarily of gluing and filling one fracture in the matrix. Those bones that were not as well preserved have been highlighted using a painting technique, although not many of them. All the specimen its exceptionally well preserved.
Most of the "restoration" has been performed on the matrix fracture.
It is also very interesting to observe how the tiny veins of natural calcite that run through the rock also run through the fossil bones, an indicator that the bones are all authentic, since the mineralization processes that the rock subsequently underwent along its natural fractures, mineralized everything, including the parts that ran through the skeleton.
Keichousaurus hui is a small marine reptile from the Triassic of southern China. A member of the Pachypleurosauridae family, with a long neck, paddle-like limbs, and a slender tail, adapted for swimming in shallow marine environments. Fossils, often found in black shale, reveal a diet of small fish and invertebrates, inferred from its needle-like teeth.
All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website.
