Here we present one of our finest Keichousaurus specimens. Aside from its exceptionally large size, 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 exceptional. It has virtually no restoration. The preservation of each of its bones is impressive, and the level of detail is outstanding. For this reason, the price of this specimen is considerably higher than the rest. It is a highly valuable specimen. The specimen has been carefully prepared professionally using micro sandblasting.

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.
It is also very interesting to observe how the veins of natural calcite that run through the rock also run through the fossil, 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.
