Keichousaurus fossil
| Description: |
Keichousaurus is a small, aquatic reptile that lived during the Triassic Period, roughly 208 to 245 million years ago. These animals had long necks, a tail, sturdy limbs and sharp little teeth. These fossils were unearthed in the Guizhou Province of China where articulated skeletons with two or more bones left in their anatomical position, seem to be frequently found. |
