Limited-edition Papo Spinosaurus Model Delayed until December (2019)
The eagerly anticipated limited-edition Papo Spinosaurus dinosaur model has been delayed until December (2019), according to information from Papo received by team members at Everything Dinosaur. Readers of this blog will probably recall that Everything Dinosaur published the first pictures of this spinosaurid figure back in February, however, model collectors and dinosaur fans will have to wait until December before they can get their hands on this Papo replica.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We had been told back in the summer that this figure would be available in October, however, we have just been informed by Papo that this dinosaur will not be available until December. No reasons have been given for the delay and we don’t want to speculate about the reasons for this delay at this stage. However, all our plans are in place to contact all those people who reserved a model, everything is ready at Everything Dinosaur for the arrival of this figure. As soon as it comes in, we will be in touch with all those customers on our reserve lists, even if it means bringing in extra staff to ensure swift communications, at what will be, our busiest time of the year.”
If Everything Dinosaur receives any further information or updates about the Papo Spinosaurus dinosaur model, we will post this up onto this blog and other social media platforms.

Zhenyuanlong suni, named by Lü and Brusatte in a paper published in the academic journal “Scientific Reports” back in 2015, is one of the larger of the dromaeosaurids described to date from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province. It is known from a single specimen (see below), which is almost complete, just a few elements including the distal portion of the tail are missing. The exact size of this theropod dinosaur is not known, as the single specimen could represent a sub-adult.
Zhenyuanlong suni
Not much is known about the fossil’s provenance as the mudstone specimen may have been unlawfully removed from a bedding plane in Jianchang County (Yixian Formation). Palaeontologists estimate that when fully grown this dromaeosaurid measured around 1.6 metres in length. The nomenclature honours Mr Zhenyuan Sun who helped secure the fossil specimen for scientific analysis.

The Scouts Return – “Melon”, “Hazelnut” and “Stan”
Everything Dinosaur has three of the very popular and very collectable Rebor Scout models back in stock. Our warehouse has received deliveries of “Melon” the baby Stegosaurus, “Hazelnut” the baby Triceratops and “Stan” the baby Velociraptor. Fans of the Rebor range will know that the Velociraptor figure is named after the Academy Award-winning special effects creator Stanley “Stan” Winston, who worked on the first three films of the “Jurassic Park” movie franchise.

Rebor Scout Models “Melon” and “Hazelnut”
Team members at Everything Dinosaur are not sure why the baby Stegosaurus and the baby Triceratops were named “Melon” and ” Hazelnut” respectively, however, why not give these two, highly detailed figures these names? It seems that unlike scientific nomenclature, anything goes when it comes to creating prehistoric animal replicas. Both the Rebor baby Triceratops and its Stegosaurus counterpart are in approximately 1:35 scale, whilst the Rebor Velociraptor figure is in 1:18 scale.

A Baby Stegosaurus Dinosaur Model
Fans of the Rebor model range will be aware of the potential for a new Stegosaurus replica from this company in the near future. For the time being, the sole representative of the Stegosauridae is this beautifully crafted figure that comes with its own display base.

Rebor Scout Models
It is the attention to detail that makes these Rebor models stand out. Take for example, the display base that accompanies the 1:18 scale baby Velociraptor figure “Stan”. The base has footprint depressions that act as a guide to help dinosaur fans position their figure correctly. The footprints on the base have been carefully sculpted to represent what are thought to be dromaeosaurid prints found in the fossil record. We are sure ichnologists will approve!

Nurhachius luei – A New Species of Early Cretaceous Pterosaur from China
A team of international researchers including scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Copenhagen and the Fur Museum (both Denmark), along with colleagues based in Brazil, have named a new species of istiodactylid pterosaur from the Liaoning Province of north-eastern China. This new flying reptile has been named Nurhachius luei, it is the second species in the Nurhachius genus to be announced after the type species Nurhachius ignaciobritoi,which also hails from the Jiufotang Formation, was named and described in 2005.

Pterosaur Species Described from Cranial Material and Neck Bones
More than twenty different pterosaur species have been described to date from fossils associated with the Jiufotang Formation of China. Although, the date of these extensive deposits is controversial, it is thought that Nurhachius luei lived during the Aptian faunal stage of the Cretaceous (125 – 113 million years ago).
The Istiodactylidae family are thought by many palaeontologists to represent the first lineage of the Pterodactyloidea. They evolved sometime in the Late Jurassic and their thin bone walls, reduced tails, absence of a fifth toe and elongated hand bones (metacarpals), provided the anatomical “blueprint” for all subsequent types of pterosaur. In essence, these “new” types of flying reptile replaced the long-tailed rhamphorhynchids and their relatives.
Four pterosaur genera and five species (all represented by a single specimen), have been referred to the Istiodactylidae. Three of the genera are associated with Liaoning deposits, whilst the remaining genus Istiodactylus (I. latidens), the first to be studied at the very beginning of the 20th century, hails from the Early Cretaceous Vectis Formation of the Isle of Wight.
Nurhachius luei
A few years ago (2011), a jaw tip found in Canada was interpreted as being from an istiodactylid pterosaur. This pterosaur was named Gwawinapterus beardi. It seemed both geographically and temporally removed from all the other known members of the Istiodactylidae and a revised description was published in 2012. Gwawinapterus was actually a fish, it just happened to have closely spaced teeth that superficially resembled the dentition of istiodactylid pterosaurs.
The scientific paper: “Nurhachius luei, a new istiodactylid pterosaur (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province (China) and comments on the Istiodactylidae” by Xuanyu Zhou, Rodrigo V. Pêgas, Maria E.C. Leal and Niels Bonde published in the academic journal PeerJ.
Crocodylus halli – A New Species of Crocodile is Announced
The crocodile family has undergone yet another revision. It seems that the Crocodylidae are a more specious family than previously thought. The New Guinea Crocodile (Crocodylus novaeguineae), is actually two species and not one and the second species has been named Crocodylus halli after Philip Hall, a University of Florida researcher who sadly, passed away before his work on these three-metre-long reptiles could be completed.
A New Crocodile Species has been Discovered – Hall’s Crocodile (Crocodylus halli)
A new crocodile species has been discovered. The picture (above), shows Jen Brueggen, Park social media manager, researchers Caleb McMahan, Christopher Murray and John Brueggen, Park director, with a specimen of Crocodylus halli, that seems rather reluctant to pose for a photograph.

Crocodile Nesting Behaviour Hinted at Different Species
The late scientist Philip Hall, noticed subtle differences in osteoderm patterns on the backs of crocodiles and in the nesting behaviours of crocodile populations in the north and the south of the island of New Guinea. He speculated that there could be two species living on New Guinea, but unfortunately, he died before his research could be completed. Southeastern Louisiana University Assistant Professor of Biology Christopher Murray and his co-author Caleb McMahan (Field Museum, Chicago), were inspired to continue this research and they have published their findings in the academic journal “Copeia”, the journal of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
A chain of high hills and mountains known as the Central Highlands divides the island of New Guinea. It is thought this geological feature was formed in the last 8 million years or so. Geographically isolated crocodile populations, each living on different drainage basins that came about as a result of the uplift, have been identified as different species.
The Island of New Guinea
The Central Highlands of New Guinea permits two distinct drainage basins to form. This geographical barrier has led to the evolution of two distinct species of crocodile.

The illustration of the island of New Guinea (above), shows the location of the Central Highlands and the red dots south of the mountain chain denote sampling areas for C. halli in the study, whilst the brown dots north of the chain indicate sampling sites for C. novaeguineae.
Careful analysis of museum specimens along with a study of the crocodiles kept in captivity at the St Augustine Alligator Zoological Park (Florida), confirmed the hypothesis. Subtle differences in the shape of bones and the observed behaviour differences indicates the presence of two distinct species on the island. This has been confirmed by molecular analysis.
Difference in the Shape of the Skull and Jaws

In contrast, the C. halli skulls show much shorter maxillae and proportionately enlarged postcranial elements.

The Importance of Museum Specimens
The researchers comment that this new insight into the Crocodylidae would not have been possible without access to the collections from numerous museums. The museums involved in this research included The Field Museum (Chicago), the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, the American Museum of Natural History (New York), Queensland Museum, Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science and the Florida Museum of Natural History.
The careful curation and collection of a large number of specimens permitted the scientists to build up a substantial database on crocodilian skull morphology that allowed them to tease out the subtle differences between the two species.

Implications for Crocodile Conservation
Identifying a separate species has important implications for the conservation of both populations of crocodile.
Commenting on the significance of this discovery, Caleb McMahan stated:
“Now that we know the evolutionary history of these species, we need to re-inform the conservation status of them given that the distribution has changed and conservation threats are different in different areas.”
The First Skeletal Remains of Phoebodus (Prehistoric Shark)
Morocco might be famous for its trilobite fossils, but this North African country has a very rich fossil heritage, one that covers a lot more fauna than just arthropods. Take for example, the discovery of the first ever skeletal material associated with the ancient shark Phoebodus. A team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Zurich (Switzerland) and the University of Chicago, have published a paper describing fossil material from a shark that was previously only known from its teeth (only three teeth in total).

Phoebodus saidselachus
The fossil material was found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the fossil is remarkably well preserved considering that the skeleton of the animal was comprised of soft cartilage and not hard bone. Around 370 million years ago, this part of north Africa was covered by a warm, shallow tropical sea. The researchers were able to identify several skulls and parts of another species of Phoebodus from the same fossil deposits. Writing in the academic journal the “Proceedings of the Royal Society B”, the scientists were able to provide a full description of Phoebodus and speculate on what this small shark might have preyed upon.
Speculating on the Body Plan of Phoebodus saidselachus

Picture credit: Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
What Did Phoebodus Look Like?
The researchers note that sharks like Phoebodus went extinct in an early part of the Carboniferous, a very long time before many of its features evolved in other modern sea creatures. The fossil reveals an eel-like body (anguilliform), a specialised braincase, a hyoid arch and elongated jaws. These features corroborate a likely close taxonomic relationship with the Carboniferous shark species Thrinacodus gracia (shown above in the picture (b).
A Similarity to Living Sharks
In addition, the fossilised material suggests a similarity between the long extinct Phoebodus genus and the living frilled shark Chlamydoselachus anguineus. The teeth of P. saidselachus are very similar to the teeth of the frilled shark. They are rounded and pointy and Phoebodus may have hunted and fed in the same way as frilled sharks. The research team also noted that the ancient shark resembles a modern gar (family Belonidae), as well. Whilst gars are not closely related to sharks, they might make a plausible marker for inferring behaviour in Late Devonian shark genera.
Now that palaeontologists have a better understanding of what Phoebodus actually looked like, this material and the other fossilised skulls found at this Moroccan locality can help them to map the radiation of the earliest elasmobranchs and to infer what sort of ecological niches in the ancient marine ecosystem they occupied.
At Everything Dinosaur, we try our best to respond to all the enquiries, questions and emails that we receive from our customers. This is no mean feat considering the thousands of customers we have all over the world, but we do try hard to answer all the queries in a timely fashion. For example, having produced a short video featuring the large Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon) replica from PNSO, we were asked to show more details of this shark model. To this end, within 24-hours, we produced another brief video showing the prehistoric shark model in greater detail.

PNSO Megalodon “Patton” Large Prehistoric Shark Model
In this short video presentation, we reaffirm the model’s size (it measures around 32 centimetres in length), we estimate the model’s scale at approximately 1:50 based on the length of Carcharocles megalodon at around 16 metres. In addition, we highlight the “battle scarring” on the model and discuss the figure’s gloss finish. Large predators tend to pick up a variety of injuries, we suspect Megalodon was no exception. If it preyed on marine mammals, we expect creatures such as Obobenocetops which was contemporaneous with this prehistoric shark, not to succumb without putting up a fight. Scars and tears in the fins would be just part of being an apex predator.

Our latest prehistoric animal themed video is now up on the company’s YouTube channel. Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube channel features over a hundred different prehistoric animal model reviews and lots of other helpful information for model collectors and dinosaur fans.
In this short video, we also comment on the finish of this shark replica. The new version of “Patton” (the large PNSO Megalodon figure), has a glossier finish than its predecessor. The model’s seams are much less visible and the addition of a gloss provides a pleasing wet-look finish to the figure. As the video narrator remarked, the wet-look is very appropriate given the fact that this is a model of a marine animal.

Please note this genus binomial name has been revised to Otodus megalodon.
The fossil record for pterosaurs “down under” is extremely poor. Only around twenty very fragmentary specimens are known. However, a team of scientists, including researchers from the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum (Winton, Queensland), have announced the discovery of a new species of flying reptile, what is more, the new species named Ferrodraco lentoni represents the most complete pterosaur known from Australia.

A Close Neighbour of Savannasaurus elliottorum
Local farmer Bob Elliott discovered the specimen eroding out of a bank adjacent to a small creek on Belmont Station in early 2017, the fossilised remains, although fragmentary, represent a type of flying reptile known as an ornithocheirid, a family of pterosaurs with a global distribution, with specimens known from the Americas, Europe, North Africa, Asia and with two Queensland representatives already – Aussiedraco and Mythunga. Bob Elliott took some of the fossils to the experts at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and a field team was despatched to excavate the rest of the material.
The pterosaur fossil material includes parts of the skull, the tips of the jaws, five partial vertebrae, limb bones and around forty isolated and broken teeth. The pterosaur fossils were found less than five miles from the site of the Savannasaurus elliottorum quarry. Savannasaurus was a huge sauropod dinosaur, it was discovered in 2005 and formally described in 2016. To read about Savannasaurus: Titanosaurs Crossing Continents Savannasaurus elliottorum.

Ferrodraco lentoni – Named after the Late Mayor of Winton
The genus name is a reference to the ironstone preservation of the holotype specimen, and the Latin “draco” (dragon). The species name honours former Winton Shire mayor Graham Thomas “Butch” Lenton, in recognition of his years of service to the Winton community and his strong support for the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Natural History Museum.
Ferrodraco is estimated to have lived some 96 million years ago and it is thought to have had a wingspan of around four metres. Corresponding author for the scientific paper, published in the journal Scientific Reports, Adele Pentland, a PhD student at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum, commented:
“Ferrodraco would have been an apex aerial predator around 96 million years ago. At this time the Winton region was on the southern shores of an inland sea and was globally positioned about where Victoria’s southern coastline is today.”
