Keichousaurus Hui. Extinct reptile fossil. (Young Adult)

Keichousaurus Hui was a small marine reptile that lived during the middle Triassic around 230 million years ago. Found mainly in Guizhou, China, it had a long slender flexible neck, compact body and paddle like limbs. It probably swam through shallow coastal waters and hunted small fish and aquatic animals. Male and females can be identified by the forearms with the males having larger more protruding characteristics in these limbs, evidence strongly suggests they gave birth to live young. This fossil came from a private collection here in the UK, unfortunately this little guy had a rough time during the last few million years under ground and some of the bones have been shifted, you can see that efforts had been made to uncover the front feet but without success, I believe this was done by a novice but we felt it best to leave well alone. Completely authentic and genuine fossil which would look great in any collection.
