Framed 130 Million Year Old Marine Reptile. This framed museum quality light brown Sinohydrosaurus is immense at 24.5 inches long on a 27 x 10 inch long dark gray tuffaceous sandstone slab and a 38 x 20 inch black and reddish brown frame with a dark green felt mat. Sinohydrosaurus translates to Chinese water reptile and they are 130 million years old from Liaoning Province, China. Like the famous feathered dinosaurs from this area, they too were buried in the massive volcanic eruptions that occurred several times in the Liaoning area of Northeastern China. This immense adult Sinohydrosaurus is a virtually complete 3.D specimen with intricate delicate detail of the bones of the body, ribs, small feet and claws and particulary the large complete skull. All of the tiny toe bones and claws from the front and back feet are intake except for some slight disarticulation on one of the back feet. This near perfect specimen is one of the very best recovered and has no restoration like over 90% of the specimens offered. Only a dozen or so specimens were so special that they were mounted in wooden frames that are ready for hanging. This huge over two foot long specimen is about as large as Sinohydrosaurs get with most available being less than 10 inches long. From an old estate, this was one of the former owner's favorite fossils.
