A shipment of PNSO dinosaur models has arrived at Everything Dinosaur. The shipment includes the new PNSO Lanqi the Lanzhousaurus dinosaur model.  We have been busy contacting customers who wanted to know about the arrival of this ornithopod. It’s great to see some of the more unusual dinosaurs from China being included in the PNSO model range.

The PNSO Lanqi the Lanzhousaurus ornithopod dinosaur models are in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

PNSO Lanqi the Lanzhousaurus

Fossils of this robust member of the Ornithopoda were discovered in Gansu Province (China).  It had unique dentition. Instead of many small teeth in the jaw, it had a low tooth count (just fourteen in the dentary). However, the teeth were enormous. One isolated tooth was measured at around fourteen centimetres long (including the root). A cladistic analysis in the 2005 paper that formally described this herbivore indicated that Lanzhousaurus was closely related to Lurdusaurus from Niger.  This suggests faunal connections between Eurasia and Africa during the Early Cretaceous.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We are going to be busy picking and packing orders for customers.  Naturally, we have prepared a Lanzhousaurus fact sheet and this will be sent out with this new PNSO dinosaur model.”
