SINOHYDROSAURUS LINGYUANENSIS ON MATRIX - Yixian Formation, Liaoning Province, China EARLY CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 122 million years ago Everyone seems to have the common Chinese fossil marine reptile called Keichousaurus. Not many buyers realize the incredible abundance of faked Keichousaurs out on the market. Somewhat similar in appearance but smaller to the Keichousaurus, this prehistoric marine reptile is neither common nor faked, the Sinohydrosaurus. The name translates into SINO (China) HYDRO (water) SAURUS (lizard). Even compared to a genuine Keichousaurus, the Sinohydrosaurus is far more rare. This seldom seen creature is part of the Jehol Biota Group and was found in the Yixian Formation between the Liaoning Province and Inner Mongolia. The Jehol Biota Group ranges from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous and is famous for the several species of bird fossils and dinosaurs found with primitive feathers. The creature's name Sinohydrosaurus lingyuanensis was officially chosen by the Beijing Nature History Museum but was later changed to Hyphalosaurus lingyuanensis by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing. We prefer the use of SINOHYDROSAURUS due to it's explanative meaning. These specimens are extremely rare and are COMPLETELY intact and genuine. There is NO RESTORATION OR RECONSTRUCTION of the creature, GUARANTEED, only repair of the matrix where fractured during excavation. The future availability of this very-highly desirable species is extremely limited. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 5" long x 4" wide stone matrix, animal 5.3" if straightened SOLD MV1201 STAND INCLUDED Actual Item - One Only
