Item Details
Description
Triassic Period, circa 250 million years B.P. Complete Keichousaurus hui skeleton on a rectangular matrix. 2.4 kg, 31.2 cm (12 1/4 in.).

From Xingyi, Guizhou, China. Acquired 1950s-1960s. From an old Bristol, UK, palaeontological collection.

Keichousaurus was a late Triassic marine reptile, and a member of the Pleurosaur family, and went extinct 250 million years ago during the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. They were specialised fish eaters, and were highly unusual amongst marine reptiles in that they gave birth to live young rather than laying eggs.
