Rebor Dilophosaurus Figures “Green Day” and “Oasis” are in Stock
The two new Rebor Dilophosaurus figures “Green Day” and ” Oasis” are in stock at Everything Dinosaur. These are the latest additions to the impressive Rebor range of scale model prehistoric animal replicas and Everything Dinosaur team members have been busy contacting dinosaur model fans on the company’s priority reserve list to ensure customers are aware of the arrival of these two exciting dinosaur figures.
In Stock at Everything Dinosaur – Rebor Dilophosaurus Models “Green Day” and “Oasis”
The Rebor Dilophosaurus replicas “Green Day” and “Oasis”. Spectacular Rebor prehistoric animal figures in stock at Everything Dinosaur.
Rebor Dilophosaurus Dinosaur Models
The Rebor models can be purchased separately, or as a pair from Everything Dinosaur. Each model has an articulated lower jaw, a flexible, bendy tail and articulated forelimbs. Subtle variations in the paint scheme of each model highlight the perceived differences between the male figure “Green Day” and the female “Oasis”. In an earlier blog article, Everything Dinosaur posted up information on how collectors can customise their Dilophosaurus figures by adding a colourful ruff, an adornment inspired by a very famous movie.

Beautiful Display Pieces
These beautiful display pieces are provided with their own bases and the models can be put together to make a two dinosaur replica diorama. The male Dilophosaurus model “Green Day” measures over 23 centimetres in length and the female figure “Oasis” is comparable in size. They are certainly stunning prehistoric animal models and their bases are very detailed too.

It is the different sized bases that explains the difference in the packaging sizes. The Rebor Dilophosaurus “Oasis” model is supplied in a larger box.
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“These two new Dilophosaurus models are just the latest in a number of theropod models that have been added to the range. The Rebor range includes tyrannosaurs, Carnotaurus, Compsognathus, Ceratosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus and of course, lots of dromaeosaurids, colloquially known as the “Raptors”. We are delighted to be able to add these Dilophosaurus models to our inventory.”

Fossil Teeth Suggests Lots of Different Types of Mesozoic Crocodiles
Researchers from the University of Utah have studied the teeth of extinct crocodyliforms and concluded that crocodiles occupied a large range of different ecological niches during the Age of Dinosaurs. Furthermore, these geographically widespread and speciose reptiles adapted to a variety of diets and that herbivorous crocodyliforms evolved at least three times independently. This suggests that plant-eating was a beneficial dietary strategy and not a unique occurrence. Many of these crocodyliforms lived alongside omnivorous or herbivorous synapsids, illustrating an ecological partition that is not found today.
The Diets of Extinct Crocodyliforms were Diverse with Many Examples of Herbivory Identified

Mesozoic Crocodiles
Writing in the academic paper “Current Biology”, the researchers Keegan Melstrom and Randall Irmis at the Natural History Museum of Utah at the University of Utah, discovered that multiple ancient groups of crocodyliforms (the group including living and extinct relatives of crocodiles and alligators), were not all carnivorous. Research has been conducted before on the various potential dietary niches of ancient crocodiles, but this new study proposes that vegetarianism arose at least three times within this group.
Commenting on the significance of this new study, doctoral student Keegan Melstrom stated:
“The most interesting thing we discovered was how frequently it seems extinct crocodyliforms ate plants. Our study indicates that complexly shaped teeth, which we infer to indicate herbivory, appear in the extinct relatives of crocodiles at least three times and maybe as many as six.”

The Tip of the Crocodyliform Iceberg
The twenty plus species of crocodylians alive today possess a similar general body shape and ecology. They are mainly generalist hypercarnivores and semi-aquatic, confined to lower latitudes. Although, consuming fruit and vegetable matter has been observed in several extant species. In 2013, Everything Dinosaur wrote an article about fruit consumption (frugivory), in crocodiles.
The crocodiles alive today, all have similar, simple conical teeth but the fossil record shows that extinct crocodyliforms were much more diverse. Today’s crocodiles are just the remnants from a once much richer and more specious group of reptiles, consider the living crocodylians as the “tip of the crocodyliform iceberg”.
Living Crocodiles are Generalist Ambush Predators (Hypercarnivores)

The researchers identified different teeth morphologies (heterodonty) and this suggests that in the past crocodile-like creatures had a variety of diets.
Melstrom added:
“Carnivores possess simple teeth whereas herbivores have much more complex teeth. Omnivores, organisms that eat both plant and animal material, fall somewhere in between. Part of my earlier research showed that this pattern holds in living reptiles that have teeth, such as crocodylians and lizards. So, these results told us that the basic pattern between diet and teeth is found in both mammals and reptiles, despite very different tooth shapes, and is applicable to extinct reptiles.”

Comparing Tooth Complexity – Extinct versus Extant
To deduce what long dead crocodyliforms most likely consumed, Melstrom with the assistance of his graduate advisor ( Randall B. Irmis), compared the tooth complexity of extinct crocodyliforms to those of living animals using a research methodology originally designed to study mammalian heterodonty. In total, 146 teeth from 16 different species of extinct crocodyliforms were incorporated into the study.
Using a combination of quantitative dental measurements and an assessment morphological features, the scientists reconstructed the diets of those extinct animals. The results indicate that these animals had a wider range of dental complexities and presumed dietary ecologies than had been appreciated previously. Quantitative analyses also revealed that some species with complex dentition were likely to be herbivorous.
The researchers conclude that plant-eating crocodyliforms appeared early in the group, perhaps shortly after the end-Triassic mass extinction event and herbivory persisted until the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. The analysis suggests that herbivory arose independently a minimum of three times, and possibly six times, in Mesozoic crocodyliforms.
Melstrom stated:
“Our work demonstrates that extinct crocodyliforms had an incredibly varied diet. Some were similar to living crocodylians and were primarily carnivorous, others were omnivores and still others likely specialised in eating plants. The herbivores lived on different continents at different times, some alongside mammals and mammal relatives, and others did not. This suggests that herbivorous crocodyliforms were successful in a variety of environments!”
Herbivorous Crocodyliforms
As many of these herbivorous crocodyliforms co-existed with plant-eating synapsids including Mammaliaformes, some of which were the ancestors of today’s mammals, this was an ecological partition that is no longer found on our planet.

International Primary Curriculum “Footprints from the Past”
Plans are well advanced for dinosaur and fossil themed workshops to be delivered in the new academic year. Team members are busy with their lesson planning and preparations including writing schemes of work to support the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the topic area “Footprints from the Past”.
Everything Dinosaur staff have prepared workshops for Foundation Stage classes through to Upper Key Stage 2, helping to enthuse and motivate, working with classes when the children will be investigating dinosaurs and fossils.
Dinosaurs and Fossils Provides Lots of Cross-curricular Learning Opportunities

We do a lot of work with schools and our workshops are built around the International Primary Curriculum aims and objectives including developing writing skills, aiding literacy, exploring ideas, problem solving, building confidence and encouraging an understanding of materials and the wider world. There is certainly a big “wow factor” with a visit from ourselves but everything our teaching team does, attempts to reinforce learning and help achieve the teaching outcomes required.
The “Big Idea” behind this element of the IPC curriculum entitled Footprints from the Past, is that nobody has ever seen a living a dinosaur and therefore how do we know so much about them? This introduces the concept of “dinosaur detectives”, challenging the class to explore ideas and to work scientifically.
From a scientific perspective, dinosaurs are technically not extinct. So, when working with Lower Key Stage 2 for example, we like to challenge their understanding of dinosaurs and extinction, develop some themes through the tactile, visual and kinaesthetic elements of the class workshop and then set the class extension activities based around exploring some of the ideas that we have covered.
Did an Extra-terrestrial Impact Wipe Out All the Dinosaurs?

Everything Dinosaur
Everything Dinosaur is manned by teachers and real fossil experts and we visit schools to conduct dinosaur and fossil themed workshops whilst working with the learning objectives and intended outcomes as set by the teaching team. We undertake a lot of work in support of the pupil premium in England. We add into our workshops real aspects of palaeontology, enabling children to experience some of the science behind the study of dinosaurs, fossils and other extinct animals. Our costs are made up of a subsidised amount for the teacher/palaeontologist’s time, plus travelling expenses and a small charge to cover the packing of fossils and any materials used.
It looks like our team members are going to have very busy autumn and spring terms.
Newsletter Features New Schleich and CollectA Prehistoric Animals
New prehistoric animal models and figures are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur at an express pace. Our latest newsletter features another seven new figures, four from Schleich and three from CollectA in what will be a stunning summer of new model additions to our ranges. It is going to be a very busy time for our team members but we have made contingency plans to ensure that orders get despatched super quick!
The Early July CollectA Newsletter Features New CollectA and Schleich Prehistoric Animal Figures

At the end of last year, Everything Dinosaur team members predicted that 2019 would see a further fifty prehistoric animal models added to the company’s already impressive range. The new CollectA models are the “Prehistoric Life” Fukuiraptor, the CollectA Deluxe Elasmotherium and the 1:40 scale Deluxe Baryonyx. The four new Schleich figures comprise, a Plesiosaurus and three dinosaurs, namely Dracorex, Diabloceratops and a juvenile Giganotosaurus.

All Prehistoric Animal Models Supplied with a Fact Sheet
Everything Dinosaur has prepared fact sheets for all seven of these new models. Customers purchasing these figures from Everything Dinosaur will be sent a fact sheet with their purchase. The fact sheet includes a scale drawing of the prehistoric animal along with fascinating facts and snippets of information.
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“For virtually every prehistoric animal figure we sell, we supply a fact sheet about that animal. We take care to research these long extinct creatures and then we produce an A4-sized fact sheet which is then sent out with model purchases. We are currently working on a further three new fact sheets so that we can provide these sheets when other new models come into stock.”

The Schleich Dracorex
The North American Dracorex (D. hogwartsia) is the last of the new models to be featured. Measuring over nineteen centimetres in length this is a beautifully detailed model of a pachycephalosaur. Our newsletter subscribers have also been asked to “like” Everything Dinosaur’s Facebook page. Our Facebook page is followed by a large number of dinosaur fans and our posts reach thousands of enthusiasts every week. We currently have a total of over 6,400 genuine page likes which makes us extremely proud. We hope to get to 6,500 Facebook page likes by the end of this month.
We have been asked by dinosaur fans and model collectors to post up more pictures and information about some of the new for 2019 prehistoric animal models that have come into stock at Everything Dinosaur. Our team members are happy to acquiesce and we have recently posted up onto our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest pages pictures of some of the new Schleich and CollectA figures. One of the questions we have been asked is whether or not the new CollectA Deluxe Baryonyx dinosaur model (1:40 scale), has an articulated jaw. Yes, it does, we even shot a short video to demonstrate this.

A Short Baryonyx Video
In this short, YouTube video (it lasts around 20 seconds), we show the CollectA Baryonyx and we demonstrate the lower jaw. This is a carefully crafted dinosaur figure and the jaw reflects the dentition associated with baryonychid dinosaurs and the upper jaw has that distinctive “notch” that is associated with the holotype fossil material retrieved from a Surrey clay pit (Weald Clay Formation), after the initial fossil discovery in 1983.

In order to best represent the anatomical proportions of this dinosaur, the design team at CollectA opted to place this 2019 version of Baryonyx on a base. However, the base is far from just a support for the model, it has been beautifully sculpted and shows lots of detail. For example, there are some plant fronds to be found on the base and the effect is to indicate that the Baryonyx is walking along a muddy, slippery riverbank, an environment in which this semi-aquatic dinosaur would have been very much at home.

Webbed Feet – Baryonyx
Although it is difficult to spot on the actual model, the design team at CollectA were keen to give the impression of webbed feet on this dinosaur. Palaeontologists have speculated that this theropod may have had webbing between its toes, an adaptation to help it to move around in its aquatic environment.
The next edition of the quarterly magazine “Prehistoric Times” is on the way. This magazine will be arriving at our offices shortly. Editor and chum, Mike Fredericks sent us an image of the front cover of the next issue.

An Eclectic Collection of Prehistoric Animals
The eye-catching front cover features an eclectic mix of prehistoric animals, all life-sized models made by the hugely talented sculptors and artists at Blue Rhino Studios (Minnesota, USA). The staff at Blue Rhino Studios have worked with museums and attractions all over the world. Established in the 1990s the company has become a leader in state-of-the-art prehistoric mammal, pterosaur and dinosaur figures. Issue 130 (summer 2019), will feature an interview with Blue Rhino team members.
Readers can expect articles on Allosaurus and the enigmatic prehistoric rhinoceros Elasmotherium, as well as a continuation of the long-running series by John Lavas highlighting the contribution of the Czech illustrator Zdeněk Burian. From the front cover details, we can see that this edition will also include an interview with the American artist Mark Hallett, a leading light in dinosaur and prehistoric animal illustrations.
Our thanks to the editorial team at “Prehistoric Times” magazine for giving us this preview.
The last of the scheduled 2019 model releases from CollectA are now in stock at Everything Dinosaur. The trio of prehistoric animal figures are the 1:20 scale Deluxe Elasmotherium model, the 1:40 scale Baryonyx and the prehistoric life Fukuiraptor model. What an impressive set of prehistoric animal figures they make!
Just Arrived! The CollectA Deluxe 1:20 Scale Elasmotherium Model
This is an excellent replica of this enigmatic member of the Rhinocerotidae family, a creature that has been nicknamed the “Siberian Unicorn”. The design team at CollectA have emphasised the animal’s long legs and depicted it in an almost trotting pose. A coat of rough shaggy hair generously covers the figure, although the presence of a shaggy coat, or indeed any hair whatsoever can only be inferred as the fossil record does not actually provide any substantive proof of the Elasmotherium having a dense coat.
The nature of the horn (if indeed it possessed one), is also largely speculative but CollectA have been careful to depict their Elasmotherium using the scientific literature as a guide. Measuring around 26 centimetres in length and that horn standing some 15 cm tall, this is a most impressive model.
From a prehistoric animal known from relatively recent and abundant fossil material from a wide area, to a dinosaur that is mostly known from a single quarry site representing strata laid down in the Early Cretaceous of Japan (Kitadani Formation). Little is known about Fukuiraptor kitadaniensis. It has been assigned to the Megaraptora clade but prior to this it was thought to be a derived allosauroid when first named and described nineteen years ago (Azuma, Yoichi; Philip J., Currie (2000). “A new carnosaur (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Lower Cretaceous of Japan”. In an initial scientific study published in 1995, it was thought that Fukuiraptor had affinities towards the Dromaeosauridae.
The New for 2019 CollectA Prehistoric Life Fukuiraptor

Fukuiraptor had large hands and powerful grasping fingers armed with strongly curved claws. These features are well represented in this new dinosaur model. CollectA have been keen to add more dinosaurs from Asia to their model range and Fukuiraptor has been one of the most eagerly anticipated models of 2019.
The CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Baryonyx Dinosaur Model
The third member of this impressive trio is the CollectA Deluxe Baryonyx dinosaur model (1:40 scale replica). This model has an articulated jaw that has been designed to replicate the distinctive baryonchid dentition. Since Baryonyx is associated with aquatic environments the design team at CollectA have given their model subtle webbing between the toes.

A Dazzling Diabloceratops Drawing
Our thanks to Caldey for sending into Everything Dinosaur a superb drawing of the horned dinosaur Diabloceratops. Knowledgeable dinosaur fans like Caldey, know that there were lots of horned dinosaurs (Ceratopsians), in fact, over seventy different species of horned dinosaur have been named to date, numerous new genera have been erected in the last twenty years or so.
Caldey’s Impressive Diabloceratops Drawing
The Schliech Diabloceratops inspired Caldey to illustrate this dinosaur back in 2019.
Picture credit: Caldey
Diablocertops eatoni
Diabloceratops is one of those genera of horned dinosaurs erected this century. It was described and named in 2010 from fossilised skull material found in Utah (Wahweap Formation), back in 2002. Although a member of the Ceratopsia, since it was classified as a member of the subfamily Centrosaurinae, Diabloceratops was only distantly related to the famous Triceratops.
We think the inspiration behind Caldey’s excellent drawing was the recently introduced Schleich Diabloceratops dinosaur model.

Our thanks to Caldey for sending into us this fabulous dinosaur drawing.
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“It is always a pleasure to receive artwork from fans of dinosaurs. Caldey’s attention to detail and careful illustration of the dinosaur is admirable. It is a dazzling Diabloceratops drawing.”
Our chums at Rebor have provided a little challenge to dinosaur fans and model collectors. As this is the last day of “Jurassic June”, we thought it would be fun to see what those clever and creative people at Rebor have got up to. It seems that they have produced some artwork for collectors to help them customise the next set of Rebor prehistoric animal figures that are due to come into stock.
Ruffs for the Rebor Dilophosaurus Figures
Here is an image of the artwork that Rebor has provided:
Colourful Dinosaur Frills to Customise Dinosaur Models

Fans of Rebor collectables will know that the next models to be introduced are a pair of Dilophosaurus dinosaurs (Dilophosaurus wetherilli). These magnificent models, nick-named “Oasis” and “Green Day” are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur in the next few days. Team members will be emailing all those customers on our priority reserve list when these dinosaurs arrive.
Rebor Replicas – Dilophosaurus Dinosaurs (“Green Day” and “Oasis”
The Rebor Dilophosaurus replicas “Green Day” and “Oasis”.
An Early Jurassic Predator
Dilophosaurus was an Early Jurassic, carnivorous dinosaur, so it is appropriate to feature this dinosaur as “Jurassic June” draws to a close. We suspect that the frills could be used to adorn the necks of these beautiful figures, but we couldn’t possibly comment further. After all, Dilophosaurus may be one of the most extensively studied of all the theropods known from the Lower Jurassic, but there is no fossil evidence to indicate that these predators had neck frills that could be “flashed” as part of a visual display.
Rebor Have Produced a Male and Female Dilophosaurus Figure

A Male and Female Dilophosaurus
The Rebor models depict a male and female Dilophosaurus. There are subtle variations in the paint scheme used for each model to highlight the differences. For example, the male “Green Day” has crimson markings on the bony crest over the eye (orbit). Most palaeontologists are comfortable with the idea that these archosaurs, like living archosaurs today (birds and crocodilians), had excellent colour vision. Visual signals may have been very important to the Dinosauria.
As to whether Dilophosaurus had an expandable neck ruff, is very much speculation, there is no fossil evidence to support such an idea. However, popular culture such as books, films and television programmes have helped set up notable preconceptions in the minds of the public and who are we to challenge such views.
There is a reptile alive today that has a neck ruff, it is the neck-frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii), native to northern Australian and Papua New Guinea. This relatively large lizard, can when frightened, extend a large ruff of skin out from its neck to produce a startling display, designed to intimidate attackers. The neck frill usually lies folded against the animal’s neck, but by flexing its jaws and gaping, this lizard can engage cartilage supports that extend the skin folds out to produce a mock threat display that makes it look much more fearsome than the lizard actually is.
Prehistoric Animals were Show Offs
Just like many animals today, it is quite likely that visual display was very important to the extinct non-avian dinosaurs. Back in 2010, Everything Dinosaur reported on the publication of a study by an international team of researchers which examined the fossil record to find evidence of visual display structures that probably had a primary function in sexual selection and attracting mates.
Rebor model fans might be able to work out what influenced Rebor’s decision to produce these accessories to help customise their models. These colourful additions will be available from Everything Dinosaur free of charge, just drop us an email requesting the dinosaur frills and we will be happy to email them out.
Once you have the download, print it out using a colour printer.
Carefully cut out each of the four sections.
Glue part A and part B back-to-back so that there is colour showing on the front and on the rear of the ruff.
Trim them until you are happy with their look, then use them to customise your Rebor models, for example, you could carefully manoeuvre the ruffs onto the tail, onto a limb or anywhere else on the model for that matter.
Team members at Everything Dinosaur have recently published the first of a string of summer newsletters. In this email, subscribers are updated on Rebor stocks, informed about new PNSO figures and given the opportunity to purchase the new for 2019 new colour variant Papo Stegosaurus.

An Update on Rebor Stocks
Fans of the Rebor range are aware just how quickly this model portfolio has grown. Not all the figures in stock are being produced again in the near future. For example, the Rebor “War Pig” Ankylosaurus model (mountain), is getting low on stock and no future production run for this armoured dinosaur model has been announced. Stocks of the very popular Rebor “Spring-heeled Jack” Velociraptor figure are similarly under pressure.
