Fossilized Reptile Skeleton // Claudiosaurus
Product Description
This complete Fossilized Reptile Skeleton is absolutely gorgeous and in the finest condition possible, with minimal restoration. It's an unbelievable discovery from Madagascar and a prime example of the fascinating aquatic reptile and dinosaur ancestor, Claudiosaurus germaini.
It was found in a famous fossil formation, the Sankamena Valley, in the form of a concretion that was carefully split, partially revealing this unbelievable fossil. Hours of expert preparation exposed the skeleton in its completion, with breathtakingly detailed preservation including a perfect skull with needle-like teeth, small toe bones and fine tail vertebrae.
These rare features, coupled with the overall beauty, make it an immensely valuable piece.
Claudiosaurus germaini likely had a partly oceanic lifestyle similar to present-day Marine Iguanas. With tail and body straightened the total length of the animal would be about 29 inches.
