Every exhibit comes with a certificate of authenticity and awaits you in the gallery, so you can see it in person before you decide.
We will bring these exhibits in especially for you — the gallery manager will discuss timing and terms with you personally.
A RELICTUM manager will tell you about the available marine reptiles and help you choose an exhibit for your collection, room and budget. The finds can be seen at the gallery. After purchase we will arrange careful delivery and professional installation of a large exhibit.
Exhibits in this section: 6 — Keichousaurus and Mixosaurus skeletons and a skull of the mosasaur Halisaurus. These animals lived in the Mesozoic seas: Keichousaurus and Mixosaurus in the Middle Triassic, before the rise of the dinosaurs, and Halisaurus at the end of the Cretaceous, alongside the last of them.
Prices from 1 500 000 ₽ to 3 500 000 ₽. Skeletons of small reptiles are usually preserved whole on a slab of rock — which is why they look so striking on a wall or in a display case.
Fossil marine reptiles call for careful choice. In a mosasaur skull the tooth row matters: it is valued when the teeth sit in their own sockets rather than being inserted separately. With ichthyosaurs, look at the integrity of the slab and the line of the spine; large cracks in the rock can break the silhouette. A Triassic Keichousaurus is usually more compact and suits a study, while Cretaceous mosasaurs and large ichthyosaurs need a wall and distance. Ask about the share of original bone and the nature of any restoration: for a serious collection this matters as much as the size of the find.
