Nothosaur skull triassic age

This skull of Nothosaurus marchicus comes from the middle triassic age - Muschelkalk (the 
so-called Orbicularis layer)  
of Farnstädt in Sachen-Anhalt in Germany.  This layer is quite interesting, to our knowledge it 
is not yet clear whether it is the upperst part of lower-Muschekalk or the lowest part of 
middle-Muschekalk.     

Every collector of Muschelkalk fossils knows about the rarity of reptile skulls.  The skull 
offered here is an extremely rare species - only about one dozen skulls of this type are 
known worldwide - so they are comparable in their  rarity to the famous fossil of the world - 
the Archaeopteryx.      

The fossil was broken and was glued. The largest measurable dimensions of this piece are 
about 17 x 9 cm.      

Do not miss this unique opportunity - something similar will surely not be 
offered anywhere else!
