Rebor Ceratosaurus “Savage”
The latest edition to the highly regarded Rebor collection of prehistoric animal replicas, a 1:35 scale model of Ceratosaurus, is due at our warehouse in the next few days or so. Fans of dinosaurs are excited about the prospect of adding a Ceratosaurus to their growing collection of Rebor replicas. A number of species of Ceratosaurus have been described, all of them dating from the Late Jurassic, although fossils have been found both in the United States, Portugal and China, indicating that this genus must have been very widespread towards the end of the Jurassic period.
Ceratosaurus
Most of the fossils of this theropod dinosaur come from the Morrison Formation (western United States), although it is not the most common meat-eating dinosaur from the Morrison, at least in terms of the number of fossils found. That honour belongs to the Allosaurus genus.

How Big was Ceratosaurus?
Palaeontologists debate just how big Ceratosaurus actually was. The Ceratosaurus species represented in the Rebor replica is Ceratosaurus dentisulcatus, one of the largest species of Ceratosaurus described to date. The model has an articulated lower jaw and it has been sculpted in very fine detail. Ceratosaurus is the only theropod dinosaur that had a row of osteoderms running down its back. These armoured scales would have made this dinosaur look like a giant, terrestrial crocodile. Like all ceratosaurs, it had a relatively long tail in proportion to the rest of its body.
The species name was given as the teeth associated with this particular species, are proportionately large and more recurved than those teeth associated with Ceratosaurus nasicornis.

Glad to hear it’s finally here! Price is a bit steep though, does it really cost more than the T-rex?
It is not more expensive than the Rebor King T.rex, it is a fraction more expensive than the Rebor Y-rex but that came out last year.
Thanks for the clarification. 🙂
Based on the largest specimen, paleontologists have estimated the length to be around 22 feet. If the model is 1/35 scale and 27cm long, this would scale out to 31.5 feet. Can anyone comment on this?
The model also has a defect in some examples in which the legs are bowed in so that the feet will not sit squarely on the base or any other surface. Does anyone know how prevalent this defect is?
