This is an unusual find from the area in China that produces the feathered dinosaurs. It is a complete Hyphalosaurus from Liaoning Province, China. This dinosaur-like reptile is similar to both a Keichousaur and a Mesosaur. This type has a semi-ovate head, whereas a Keichousaur has a more triangular head, and a Mesosaur has a very elongated head. This specimen has all four limbs preserved. The legs even have the hand and foot digits and claws intact, which is rare for this type. The neck, body, and LONG tail are all very well articulated. The head even shows some teeth preserved (RARE!). The reptile displays beautifully on the 4.5'' X 5.5'' rectangular matrix plate. This is a top-quality dinosaur-like fossil from the same area where the feathered dinosaurs were discovered. It is the best example of this type that we have ever had.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
