Hyphalosaurus
lingyuanensis (more commonly called Sinohydrosaurus lingyuanensis) is a
more recently discovered and described (Li Jianjun, 1999, Beijing Natural
History Museum) marine lizard from the Famous dinosaur fossil beds of Liaoning
Province, Peoples Republic of China. Believed to have descended from a land-dwelling
progenitor, Sinohydrosaurus was a fresh water marine reptile. Sinohydrosaurus
resembles the generally larger Keichousaurus that preceded it by 100 million
years, and is definitely desirable as a vertebrate that swam alongside its
genetic cousins, the dinosaurs.This fine fossil comes with a wooden stand and a custom-sized, Chinese, tradition cloth-covered and lined box that are shown in the pictures.
