This is an unusual find from the area in China that produces the feathered dinosaurs. It is a complete 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. The legs even have the digits and claws intact, which is rare for this type. The neck, body, and LONG tail are all very well articulated. The reptile displays well on the rectangular matrix plate that has been implanted in a resin board for optimal display. This is a very complete dinosaur-like fossil from the same area where the feathered dinosaurs were discovered.
