Permian Reptile Microsaur Hand Fossil in Display Box

This Permian reptile Microsaur hand fossil is a rare and scientifically significant display of early evolution. Preserved and professionally mounted in a museum‑quality display box, it captures the early evolutionary story of reptilian life on land. Because it dates to the Lower Permian period (~280 million years ago), this authentic specimen offers a remarkable glimpse into early reptile development during a pivotal chapter in Earth’s history.

Sourced from the Dolese Quarry within the renowned Richards Spur locality in Oklahoma, this fossil comes from one of the most important sites for early terrestrial vertebrates. The delicate skeletal elements not only include clearly defined phalanges. But also metacarpals, and wrist bones.

All bones are exceptionally preserved and showcases the anatomy of these small, lizard‑like Paleozoic reptiles known as microsaurs. As a result, this specimen stands out for both its scientific value and its visual clarity. Set against a textured black background, the fossil’s fine detail and natural articulation make it an eye‑catching display piece. A perfect addition for collectors, educators, and natural history enthusiasts.
