Keichousaurus Fossil // Middle Triassic Period // 247-237 Million Years Ago
Product Description
Complete Prehistoric Fossilized Keichousaurus specimen in limestone from the Mid Triassic Period. Keichousaurus is a genus of marine reptile in the pachypleurosaur family that existed between 247-237 million years ago. They went extinct at the close of the Triassic in the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event.
The name derives from Kweichow (now Guizhou Province) in China where the first fossil specimen was discovered in 1957. Keichousaurus, and the pachypleurosaur family broadly, are sometimes classified within Nothosauroidea, but are otherwise listed as a separate, more primitive lineage within Sauropterygia.
