Authentic KEICHOUSAURUS HUI AQUATIC DINOSAUR FOSSIL SKELETON- 100 Percent Complete With NO Restorations

We are offering a RARE 100% complete and UNRESTORED fossil skeleton of a KEICHOUSAURUS HUI- an aquatic/marine dinosaur from the TRIASSIC PERIOD. It is 230-240 MILLION YEARS OLD, wonderfully extracted from the slate matrix, a process that took a professional countless hours to prepare. Even the small predator's sharp teeth are on display [it ate fish and invertebrates], as well as thickly boned front legs, which seconded as paddles for locomotion through water. Keichousaurs were first discovered in 1958, in the GUIZHOU provence of CHINA [the only region in the world they are found]. I acquired it from a prominent private collection, with only collector's and museum grade fossils. It is NOT like the poorly prepared and INCOMPLETE specimens found on sites like EBAY. Those examples are incomplete- composite and paint are used to draw/fill in the missing bones and limbs. The example being offered in this auction has not been modified in any way. It is 100% complete, and all original with ZERO restoration work done. As shown in the photos, the preparation on matrix is SUPERB, and the animal is exactly as it was 230+ million years ago, when it passed. We placed a low reserve on it to partially protect investment [much less than was payed for it].
