This extraordinary Mixosaurus fossil dates back to the Middle Triassic period, approximately 240 million years ago, capturing a marine reptile that thrived in prehistoric seas. The specimen is remarkably complete, displaying an articulated skeleton preserved in its natural limestone matrix, with ribs, vertebrae, flippers, and skull clearly visible. The fine preservation even reveals delicate skeletal elements, giving a vivid sense of the animal’s original anatomy.
Mounted in a large display slab measuring 133 × 47 × 4 cm (fossil body length 124 cm), this piece makes a commanding statement in any collection or exhibition. Its excellent contrast between fossil and matrix enhances the visual impact, while the natural, unrestored sections confirm its authenticity and scientific significance.
