Keichousaurus, Two-sided Plate

Period: Triassic (240 million years ago)
Origin: Guizhou Province, China

Size: 7.5" x 13"

This plate is truly one-of-a-kind: the keichousaurus fossil has been prepared to show both sides of the skeleton, as if swimming through the matrix! 

Keichousaurus was a small marine reptile that lived during the Triassic age. Adults ranged in size from 6-10 inches. They had long necks and long tails, with sharp teeth that suggest their diet included mainly fish.
