PNSO Xiaochong the Dinocephalosaurus

One of the weirdest Triassic marine reptiles you've never heard of

Dinocephalosaurus is one of the strangest animals ever discovered, a long-necked marine reptile from the Triassic period that looked like a mashup between a plesiosaur and a snake. This exceptional PNSO figure captures the creature’s unique body plan in stunning detail, from its elongated neck to its fish-snatching jaws. It’s a standout addition to any paleo-collector’s shelf, and a rare representation of a truly unusual reptile that lived long before the age of dinosaurs.
