Scale Model of Amargasaurus available in Spring 2012
One of the more bizarre of the late diplodocids is the Amargasaurus from the Lower Cretaceous strata of Argentina. This dinosaur had a relatively short neck for a sauropod. The spines sticking up from the backbone between the shoulders and the hips probably carried a sail-like structure with the cervical spines perhaps providing a deterrent from attack. A new Amargasaurus dinosaur model is being introduced.

This Cretaceous giant will be available as a 1:40 scale model from CollectA. The dinosaur replica, a most impressive sauropod model, will be available in the spring.

A 1:40 scale model of the bizarre, South American sauropod Amargasaurus.
We are delighted with this new interpretation of this diplodocid. The CollectA Amargasaurus dinosaur model will be part of the new for 2012 CollectA Deluxe/Supreme prehistoric animal model series.

This model contrasts with the Safari Carnegie Amargasaurus model that came out a few years back. With the majority of the skeleton found, including some skull material scientists have a very good idea what this animal looked like. Just what the sail and the neck spines were used for remains under debate. The rotund body could be put down to seasonal variations, this dinosaur lived in a lush region with a short, dry season.
