Description: Keichousaurus.
(Two shown in image FR475.) Keichousaurus
is a genus of marine reptiles in the pachypleurosaur family
which went extinct at the close of the Triassic in the
Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. The name derives from
Kweichow (now Guizhou Province) in China where the first
fossil specimen was discovered in 1957. They are among the
most common sauropterygian fossils recovered and are often
found as nearly complete, articulated skeletons, making them
popular among collectors. Keichousaurs, and the
pachypleurosaur family broadly, are sometimes classified
within Nothosauroidea, but are otherwise listed as a
separate, more primitive lineage within Sauropterygia.
Keichousaurs, like all sauropterygians, were highly adapted
to the aquatic environment. They ranged from 15 - 30 cm. in
length, had both long necks and long tails, with elongated,
five-toed feet. The pointed head and sharp teeth in this
genus also indicate that they were aquatic, fish-eaters.
