Mesosaurus skull and partial skeleton

This skull with partial skeleton of Mesosaurus tenuidens is from the early Permian of Brazil. The age of 
this fossil amounts to approx 280 million years.

The skull shows many details and nice dentition, it measures about 6,5 cm. Some of the postcranial bones 
are still covered with stone.

The matrix is unbroken, it measures about 26 x 19 x 3 cm. 

Honest piece - there are no manipulations at all!

These fossils used to be available for purchase from time to time, but since the strict export 
ban that Brazil imposed a few years ago, no pieces have come onto the market. The reptile 
offered here is an exhibit from an old collection.
