Precious nodule of CLAUDIOSAURUS
PUFO325
Discribed for the first time in 1981, this small dinosaur was living in what became Madagascar,but in late Permian -260 Million years ago- It had a long body and neck, reaching on overall length of about 60 centimetres (2.0 ft). It is presumed to have been partially oceanic, living its life in a way similar to the modern Marine Iguana. The main reason for this theory is that the skeleton included substantial amounts of cartilage, rather than bone, indicating it had trouble supporting its weight on land. This specimen is included in it's original nodule splited in two. So that the complete skeleton is included in this handled piece; excepted the head, as on most Claudiosaurus fossil, as the long and soft neck has been separated from the nodule when forming. French walnut and brass stand.
