Everything Dinosaur has commissioned a Guanlingsaurus scale drawing. The illustration is to be used in a Guanlingsaurus liangae fact sheet. This exclusive fact sheet will be sent out with sales of the new PNSO Yuanlin the Guanlingsaurus marine reptile figure.

The Guanlingsaurus Scale Drawing
Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained that the Guanlingsaurus scale drawing will enable model collectors to instantly gauge how big this Triassic marine reptile was. The largest specimen known (YIGMR SPCV03109) represents an adult animal around 8.3 metres long. It is thought that this ichthyosaur weighed around 2.5 tonnes. This marine reptile was scientifically described by Yin et al (2000). It was subsequently reassigned to Shastasaurus. However, a revision took place in 2013 when a more complete juvenile specimen was discovered. This led to the reaffirmation that the fossils represented a unique taxon.

Mike added:
“We have been lobbying for PNSO to make more models of prehistoric animals known from China. We especially wanted more marine reptiles. It is great to see a Guizhouichthyosaurus to be followed by a Guanlingsaurus figure.”
The Guanlingsaurus model will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks.
