Everything Dinosaur team members took the opportunity to photograph delightful CollectA Furcatoceratops dinosaur model outdoors. This model represents Furcatoceratops elucidans. This dinosaur was scientifically described two years ago (Ishikawa et al). Its fossil remains come from the famous Judith River Formation of Montana. The holotype (NSM PV 24660) was first described ten years ago. The fossils were thought to represent the remains of an Averceratops (Averceratops lammersi). However, further study highlighted unique characteristics, and this led to the establishment of the Furcatoceratops genus.

The CollectA Furcatoceratops Dinosaur Model

The model is relatively small.  It measures a little under eleven and a half centimetres long (four and half inches).  The CollectA Furcatoceratops might be small, but it has some amazing details.  Our photographs highlight the different textures on the animal’s body.  In addition, the images demonstrate that some of the scales are much larger than others.  This reflects what is known about ceratopsian integument that has been preserved in the fossil record.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We took the opportunity of a break in the weather to take some photographs of our Furcatoceratops model outside.  It is a delightful figure of a ceratopsian.  CollectA have introduced numerous horned dinosaurs into their Age of Dinosaurs Popular range.  These dinosaur models help to demonstrate the incredible variety of North American Late Cretaceous ceratopsians.”
