Team members enjoy taking photographs of dinosaur models. Photographs of prehistoric animal figures are helpful to customers. In addition, we can highlight details on the figures and discuss the accessories that are often included in the packaging. For example, we were able to take some photographs of the recently introduced PNSO Yangchuanosaurus dinosaur model (Dayong). Dayong is a replica of Y. shangyouensis. This dinosaur taxon was named and described in 1978. The PNSO figure was introduced in the autumn of 2023.

The PNSO Yangchuanosaurus Dinosaur Model
The PNSO figure is a replica of a metriacanthosaurid theropod. Its fossils come from south-western China (Chongqing Province). PNSO introduced two Yangchuanosaurus figures. Firstly, Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis and secondly Dapeng, a replica of Yangchuanosaurus magnus.
The discovery of a much larger theropod skeleton led to the erection of a second species in the Yangchuanosaurus genus. However, it is now thought by most palaeontologists that Yangchuanosaurus magus should have nomen dubium status. That is, that this species is not valid, and the skeletal remains represent an older and much larger specimen of Y. shangyouensis. PNSO did introduce a replica of Y. magus at the same time as Dayong the Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis.
