Psittacosaurus meileyingensis (2)

OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST - with rarely preserved remnants of carbonized skin!

Cretaceous age, Jiufotang Formation, Meileyingenzi, Liaoning Province, N.E. China. Dinosaur measures 31" (79cm) long!

This extraordinary specimen of P. Meileyingensis is 100% original fossilized dinosaur skeleton ie. no bones whatsoever have been taken from another specimen, to complete the dinosaur.

OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST - rarely preserved remnants of carbonized skin tissue can be seen, particularly on the skull and sacrum (pelvis).

Recent discoveries have determined that Psittacosaurs had exceptionally thick skin - very much like that of sharks.

The carbon remnants are mainly scattered in small clusters with larger consolidated patches up to 3/4" square!

Vertebrae (with dorsal & lateral processes) comprise separate sections with individual bones fixed together. The vertebral column is retained as fossilized.

GUARANTEED fossilized bones - NO replica, cast, resin, plaster or plastic bones.

NO restoration.

LARGE skull with excellent teeth.

THE SKULL

The mouth is well defined with beak.

The teeth display variant degrees of growth and wear - some teeth have very little wear and the 'leaf' shape of the Psittacosaur dentition is clear.

It is very difficult to adequately show photographically the many features of this extraordinary skull - needless to say it is substantially better in reality than we can possibly represent within this description - preparation by Triassica here in the UK.

We are indebted to Black Hills Geological Research Institute USA for the provision of scientifically recognised, fossil preservation, preparatory compounds and consolidants.
