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 10.5 inch long excellent 3-D fossil (about as large as they get) has well defined bones and an excellent skull with even five or six of the small pointed black teeth preserved and is well positioned on a 12 x 8 inch dark grey slate matrix with two natural white calcite veins running through the matris. All of the bones present are of top quality with all four legs present with most of toe bones but the tiny claws are either missing or disarticulated. There has been only minimal restoration mainly concentrated on the feet and toe bones.
