Museum-Quality Plesiosaurus Skeleton – Marine Reptile Fossil

Plesiosaurus Skeleton – 6 Meters (236 Inches) – Museum-Quality Marine Reptile Fossil

This museum-quality Plesiosaurus skeleton measures approximately 6 meters (236 inches) in length. It creates a dramatic and scientifically accurate prehistoric marine display.With its elongated neck, powerful paddle-like limbs, and streamlined body, this specimen represents one of the most iconic marine reptiles of the Mesozoic era.

Significantly, the fossil dates to the Late Jurassic period (approximately 150 million years ago) and was discovered in the Khouribga region, Morocco, a globally recognized marine fossil locality known for exceptional preservation.

Composition and Authenticity

Approximately 80% of the skeleton consists of original fossilized bones from a single individual. Additionally, preparators carefully completed the remaining elements using authentic plesiosaur fossil material from closely related specimens, ensuring anatomical accuracy and structural continuity.

All bones are genuine fossils. Moreover, experts professionally prepared and mounted the skeleton to guarantee a stable, long-term display suitable for museums, universities, and advanced private collections.

Furthermore, the skeleton includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the preparator or supplier, which confirms the fossil’s composition and restoration details.

Extraction and Preparation Process

Our specialized fossil preparation team dedicated nearly ten months to excavating, stabilizing, and preserving this Plesiosaurus skeleton. Through careful techniques and attention to detail, they exposed each bone from marine limestone sediments using precise mechanical tools and controlled preparation methods.

As a result, the skeleton presents a highly detailed, museum-grade marine reptile fossil with exceptional structural integrity and visual impact.
