This is a new find from the area in China that produced the feathered dinosaurs. It is a large Hyphalosaurus from Liaoning Province, China. This dinosaur-like reptile is similar to both a Keichousaur and a Mesosaur. This type has a semi-ovate head, whereas a Keichousaur has a more triangular head, and a Mesosaur has a very elongated head. This specimen has all four limbs preserved. Most of the legs even have the digits and claws intact, which is rare for this type. The neck, body, and tail are all very well articulated. The reptile displays well on the large 8" X 16" matrix plate. This is a very displayable vertebrate fossil from the same area where the feathered dinosaurs were discovered.
