Kueichousaurus Skeleton. Kueichousaurus hui was the 240 million year old ancestor from Guizhou Province, China of the famous long necked sea reptiles Plesiosaurus which was made famous as being the mysterious Loch Ness monster. Kueichousaurus also lived in the ocean and had a long, flexible neck, tiny sharp teeth, webbed feet and a tail as long as its neck. This 9.5 inch long excellent 3-D fossil (an adult) has well defined bones and an excellent skull preserved upside down with the delicated bottom jaws preserved with even some of the small pointed black teeth and is well positioned on a 12 x 5 inch dark grey slate matrix with a natural white calcite vein and a barely noticeable repaired break in the matrix. All of the bones present are of top quality with all four legs present, but some of the toe bones and claws are missing although the tail is complete, which is rare.
