Central Asia, Circa Early Cretaceous Period (145 - 100 mya). Museum quality, complete skeleton of the earliest known beaked bird. This was the first true avian descendant of dinosaurs. No bones were removed from the matrix during the painstaking removal of the volcanic ash to reveal the exceptionally 3-dimensional bones of this complete, articulated skeleton. Fastened securely to a plywood backer with hanging hardware installed.

Dimensions: Plate - 11" x 11.75"

Good, as shown.
