I purchased this many years ago, 

A Keichousaurus hui marine reptile fossil. 

 

Keichousaurus is a genus of marine reptile 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 . Not the best specimen.  Purchased it of a local man he wrote this book.
