Toxochelys latiremis Skeleton

Overview This exceptional Toxochelys latiremis marine turtle specimen originates from the Niobrara Formation in western Kansas, USA. Characterized by high-quality bone preservation and a pristine surface, it stands as one of the finest examples of the species discovered to date. Because the skeleton was naturally disarticulated prior to fossilization, it allows for a highly dynamic, lifelike three-dimensional mount, completely avoiding the flattened appearance typical of traditional marine fossils. To ensure absolute anatomical accuracy, the specimen is completed with a high-resolution 3D-printed skull sourced from a pristine counterpart.

Aesthetic Application The remarkable preservation of the carapace and axial skeleton translates into a commanding natural sculpture. When assembled and mounted in a fluid, swimming posture, the piece functions as a spectacular spatial focal point. It offers immense visual depth and natural history significance, making it ideal for sophisticated residential projects or premium public commercial interiors.
