New PNSO Dinosaur Models

The five new models have been laid out in chronological order. Models of geologically older dinosaurs are on the right. The geologically youngest model, the Alamosaurus is on the far left of the photograph.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained that as well as showing the packaging, the photograph provided an opportunity to highlight the substantial differences in the age of the dinosaurs represented by the figures.

  • Dapeng the Yangchuanosaurus magnus* Nomen dubium – the validity of this species has been questioned. Fossils probably date from the Middle to Late Jurassic.
  • Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis – Middle to Late Jurassic.
  • Donald the Saurophaganax – Late Jurassic.
  • Cayden the Zuul – Late Cretaceous (Campanian faunal stage).
  • Samuel the Alamosaurus – Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian faunal stage).
Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus
The superb PNSO Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus is a new theropod figure in the company’s mid-size model series.

Dating the Age of Yangchuanosaurus Fossil Specimens

Several taxa have been assigned to the Yangchuanosaurus genus. The geological age of fossils ascribed to this genus is extensive. For example, some fossils ascribed to Yangchuanosaurus have been dated to the very Early Cretaceous (Berriasian faunal stage).

CollectA Deluxe Dearc sgiathanach Model

Fans of the CollectA Deluxe and Supreme ranges have been eager to learn more about this new 1:3 scale flying reptile figure. We have been asked to confirm the model’s measurements.

The pterosaur measures approximately 39 cm from the tip of its tail vane to the end of the articulated jaw. Dearc’s head is around 11.5 cm off the ground. In addition, the tallest wing tip is 16.3 cm high. The model’s width is approximately 13.5 cm.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised the colouration of this new pterosaur figure. The spokesperson stated:

“Dearc has been given a similar colouration as the northern gannet. This is appropriate as Dearc probably filled a similar niche in the Jurassic ecosystem. In addition, gannets are very common on the Isle of Skye where the Dearc fossils were found.”

The spokesperson also confirmed that this exciting new pterosaur figure will be available in early 2024.

Did Moros intrepidus Have Two Digits or Three?

By |2024-01-07T15:30:02+00:00December 18th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The Schleich Moros intrepidus model is now in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Everything Dinosaur team members asked their customers about the number of digits on this dinosaur’s hand. When first described (2019), this dinosaur was depicted in the media release notes with two digits. However, metacarpals and phalanges of this dinosaur are unknown. Hand bones and finger bones have not been found. So, we asked the question – did Moros intrepidus have two digits or three on each hand?

Team members created a YouTube video short exploring this topic.

Schleich Dinosaur Models

The first four new for 2024 Schleich dinosaur models are now in stock. These models may not be that scientifically accurate. However, they are popular with young dinosaur fans as they are ideal for robust, creative play.

The four new Schleich figures in stock (December 2023) are:

  • Moros intrepidus.
  • Allosaurus.
  • Concavenator.
  • Bajadasaurus.

To view the range of Schleich prehistoric animal models: Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models and Figures.

The Schleich Moros dinosaur model has two digits on each hand. However, other members of the Tyrannosauroidea superfamily had three digits per hand. For example, dinosaurs such as Guanlong (G. wucaii) and Proceratosaurus (P. bradleyi) are thought to have had three digits on the hand.

With palaeontology, one single fossil bone can change perceptions about a prehistoric animal. If the phalanges of Moros are discovered then scientists will have a definitive answer to this question (probably).

New Schleich Moros intrepidus – Two Digits or Three?

By |2023-12-18T17:26:48+00:00December 17th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new for 2024 Schleich Moros intrepidus model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Schleich have given their Moros figure two digits on each hand, do you think this is correct? The manus of this tyrannosauroid is unknown. No fossils of hand bones or fingers have been found, as far as we at Everything Dinosaur are aware. Did this distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex have two fingers on each hand?

We will post up a brief video on our social media pages asking this question shortly.

Moros intrepidus – Two Digits on the Hand or Three?

This small tyrannosauroid lived around thirty million years before T. rex evolved. When it was described (Zanno et al, 2019), the illustration that accompanied the media notes showed this dinosaur with two digits per hand.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s blog post from 2019 about this dinosaur: Fleet-footed Tyrannosaur Leaps 70 Million Year Gap.

Earlier tyrannosauroids had three digits on each hand. So, the question is how many digits on each hand did Moros have? In Everything Dinosaur’s short video, we ask our fans, followers and customers for their views.

Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex

The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex has been beautifully painted, and the figure has been given lips. The debate about lips in the Dinosauria is on-going. Many palaeontologists believe that dinosaurs did indeed have lips.

To read an article from earlier this year (2023) about lips in the Tyrannosauridae: Tyrannosaurus rex Had Lips.

Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex “KISS” Mountain
The spectacular Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex “Kiss” in the mountain colour variant measures approximately 40.5 cm long and that magnificent head stands around 14 cm high. The model is in an approximate scale of 1:35.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is wonderful to see this popular Rebor figure back in stock. We have been busy contacting customers who wanted to be notified when this replica arrived. The Tyrannosaurus rex figure has an articulated jaw, poseable arms and a flexible tail. It is a clever piece of dinosaur design.”
