Everything Dinosaur Newsletter Celebrates Dinovember

The latest Everything Dinosaur newsletter features the exclusive Beasts of the Mesozoic limited edition Velociraptor osmolskae.  Two more recently arrived Beasts of the Mesozoic models are also showcased in our “Dinovember” bulletin.  The popular Linheraptor (L. exquisitus) and the top-selling Pyroraptor (P. olympius) replicas are back in stock.  In addition, with our thoughts turning to the festive season, we highlight the Papo gift box that features the recently introduced Stygimoloch and Gorgosaurus.  The newsletter also announces two new replicas from Rebor, the Compsognathus longipes preserved dissection specimens.

Papo Gift Boxes and the Rebor X-REX Swarm (Plague Variant)

Everything Dinosaur team members get asked at this time of year to recommend Christmas gifts, one of the best-selling items at the moment is the 2020 Papo gift box which features the Papo Gorgosaurus and the bone-headed dinosaur Stygimoloch.  Gift boxes are popular in November and December, so it seemed sensible to feature this item in our latest newsletter.  Fans of the Rebor X-REX series, the alien/Tyrannosaurus rex hybrid will not be disappointed with the second figure in this line, the fearsome X-REX Swarm (plague variant).

Eofauna Triceratops Models Available for Pre-Order

The two Eofauna Triceratops models are available for pre-order from Everything Dinosaur.   These beautiful 1:35 scale models of an as yet undescribed Triceratops species (Cryptic and Dominant) are expected to be in stock around late February 2021, but dinosaur fans and model collectors can pre-order these figures at Everything Dinosaur.

An Undescribed Species

In the past, palaeontologists recognised many different species of Triceratops, however, today, most scientists agree that there are two described species, Triceratops horridus and the geologically younger Triceratops prorsus.  The Triceratops genus is associated with the Hell Creek Formation of North America and there is strong evidence to suggest that over the two million years or so that these strata represent, there was another species, a sort of intermediate form between T. horridus and T. prorsus.

For a more complete explanation, take a look at our blog post revealing the sixth model in the Eofauna series: Eofauna Announce a Triceratops.

To read our 2014 article that looks at the evidence for anagenesis in the Triceratops genus: How Triceratops got its Horns and Beak.

Two Eofauna Triceratops Models

As we have two described species of this famous dinosaur at present, it is fitting that those talented people at Eofauna have produced two colour variants of this exciting replica.

  • Eofauna Scientific Research Triceratops “Dominant” with a brown coloured frill and brown limbs.
  • Eofauna Scientific Research Triceratops “Cryptic” with a blue tinge to the frill and blue coloured limbs.

Triceratops Model Measurements

The Triceratops figure, the third dinosaur model in this series, following the Giganotosaurus and the Atlasaurus that were both introduced in 2019, measures approximately 20 cm long.  Those impressive brow horns stand a little over 13 cm high.  The figures have a declared scale of 1:35.

As well as each individual model being available for pre-order (as of early November 2020), Everything Dinosaur will be selling both “Cryptic” and “Dominant” together as a pair at a special offer price.  These models are scheduled to arrive in late February 2021.
