This ancient marine reptile lived during the Triassic period It's incredible to think about the history behind this beautifully preserved fossil.

Great preservation due to sand blasting preparation, instead of Acid prepping, which is commonly seen with Keichousaurus fossils. Keichousaurus were small marine reptiles
