Last Chance to Acquire a Styracosaurus Model

By Mike|2023-10-26T21:55:46+01:00October 26th, 2023|Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Styracosaurus articulated dinosaur model is being retired. This popular figure is going out of production. One of the first ceratopsian figures introduced, the Styracosaurus is being retired after one last production run.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Styracosaurus

Measuring an impressive 30.5 cm in length, the Styracosaurus figure has proved to be immensely popular with collectors. The striking colour scheme made this articulated model an instant hit. The hand-painted model is in 1:18 scale. In addition, it had twenty points of articulation.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that just five hundred Styracosaurus models had been produced. It was probably due to production pressures, with so many new models coming out that the Styracosaurus had been retired.

The spokesperson added:

“The Beasts of the Mesozoic Styracosaurus figure is absolutely stunning. We shall be sad when it is finally withdrawn and out of production.”

For dinosaur fans and model collectors who may have missed out on this figure, there is one final chance to get their hands on one.

Styracosaurus albertensis

Styracosaurus (Styracosaurus albertensis) is an iconic ceratopsian. It is a member of the centrosaurine subfamily of horned dinosaurs. It was named and scientifically described in 1913 (Lawrence Lambe). Known from the Dinosaur Provincial Park Formation of Alberta, Styracosaurus was a large dinosaur, perhaps as much as 6 metres long. The holotype specimen is on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature (Ottawa, Ontario).

Everything Dinosaur Addresses Students on Popular Degree Course

By Mike|2023-11-23T10:58:53+00:00October 23rd, 2023|Adobe CS5, Educational Activities, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Main Page, Photos, Press Releases|0 Comments

A team member from Everything Dinosaur was invited to address final year digital marketing students at Manchester Metropolitan University. Mike of Everything Dinosaur had received some training from the University, taking part in a “Developing Innovation” programme. As a result of his connections to the University he was invited to present to the digital marketing students. The students are looking at Everything Dinosaur’s digital footprint and Google Analytics as part of their course. The aim is to provide them with a real business to study.

*Everything Dinosaur team member Mike got asked lots of questions by the digital marketing students. Picture credit: Alexandra Severn (MMU).*

Everything Dinosaur Fielding Questions

Working with their teacher, Alexandra Severn (Senior Lecturer in Digital Marketing Communications and Programme Leader), the students had compiled an extensive list of questions. The questions ranged from asking about our website, customer profiling and social media activities to enquiring about our favourite fossils. Fortunately, a fossil had been brought along. It is not very often a Woolly Rhinoceros dorsal vertebra takes part in a business school lecture.

One student asked:

“What was our favourite dinosaur?”

Ryan enquired:

“How sustainable is your operation? Do you consider the environmental impact at each stage of your operation?”

Amin wanted to know how the dinosaur models are made and are they made in a safe environment?

We hope the answers we provided were informative and helped the students to gain a better understanding of the business world. It was also a pleasure to be able to discuss some of the ways in which Everything Dinosaur has reduced its carbon footprint. In addition, our use of recycled cardboard and the replacement of compostable starch chips rather than using foam were highlighted.

Commenting on the experience, Mike stated:

“It is nice to be able to give something back to the next generation. They had compiled a challenging set of questions, and I did my best to answer them all. It was a pretty intense session, but I got the chance to talk to some of the students afterwards and they wanted to have their photograph taken with the Woolly Rhino fossil.”

Haolonggood Ouranosaurus Model with Thumb Spike – An Exclusive Look

By Mike|2023-11-23T10:59:50+00:00October 22nd, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases, Product Reviews|0 Comments

We can confirm that the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus model in stock has the anatomically correct manus (hand). When this figure was first produced, the hand on the model did not reflect the known fossil record. The Haolonggood design team were swift to respond and introduced a more accurate version shortly afterwards.

A More Accurate Haolonggood Ouranosaurus Model

The picture (above) shows a close-up view of the manus of WuJu the green Ouranosaurus figure. The first digit, the thumb (pollex) has a stubby spike. Digits two, three and four were more robust, and were adapted for weight bearing. Please note, in the image above digit four is not visible. Digit five was reduced and had limited sideways movement. It was not prehensile and probably not used for grasping.

Everything Dinosaur congratulates the design team at Haolonggood for introducing a more accurate Ouranosaurus model.

The Ouranosaurus Holotype and the Paratype

Ouranosaurus was named and described in 1976 (Ouranosaurus nigeriensis) by the French palaeontologist Phillipe Taquet. Fossil specimens began to be put on display prior to the formal scientific description. This has led to some confusion over the identity of the fossil material. For example, it is now thought that the nearly complete specimen on display at the Natural History Museum of Venice represents the paratype. As a result of this confusion, some of the autapomorphies associated with the holotype that led to the erection of this genus has been challenged.

For example, the tail was described as relatively short. However, this may not be a unique characteristic and the absence of a complete set of caudal vertebrae may have led to this feature being over emphasised.

The New PNSO Donald the Saurophaganax Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2023-11-23T10:33:59+00:00October 8th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur can confirm that they will be stocking the recently announced PNSO Donald the Saurophaganax dinosaur model. The shipment of PNSO dinosaur models is already on the water and expected to arrive in a few weeks.

PNSO Donald the Saurophaganax

Saurophaganax (S. maximus) is known from fossils from the famous Morrison Formation of the United States. Numerous theropods have been named based on Morrison Formation fossils. However, Saurophaganax is regarded as the largest known to science. Some palaeontologists have estimated that this theropod reached lengths in excess of thirteen metres.

Fossils ascribed to allosauroids are found throughout most of the strata of the Morrison Formation. It remains uncertain as to whether Saurophaganax is a distinct genus, or just an example of a particularly robust and large Allosaurus. The taxonomic relationship between S. maximus and Allosaurus spp. remains controversial.

An Articulated Jaw and Lips

In recognition of recent scientific papers, the PNSO Donald the Saurophaganax model has been given lips. This beautiful theropod figure also has an articulated lower jaw.

To view the range of PNSO dinosaur and prehistoric animal figures available from Everything Dinosaur: PNSO Age of Dinosaurs Models.

PNSO Saurophaganax Model Measurements

This new PNSO figure measures 30 cm in length and the models stands 10.8 cm tall. PNSO have taken care to ensure that their Saurophaganax figure is bigger than both their Torvosaurus and Allosaurus models. Paul the Allosaurus 25 cm long and Connor the Torvosaurus measures 29.5 cm long. This is in keeping with current scientific thinking with regards to the size of these three theropods.

Praising the PNSO Donald the Saurophaganax Figure

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised the new Saurophaganax figure and commented:

“Collectors have the opportunity to display three famous Morrison Formation theropods together. The Allosaurus, Torvosaurus and the new PNSO Saurophaganax are roughly in the same scale. This will permit dinosaur fans to display dinosaur models that reflect the known fossil record of this famous geological formation.”

The PNSO Donald the Saurophaganax model is supplied with a number of accessories. It comes complete with a transparent support stand, an A3 Sci-Art poster and a 64-page, full-colour booklet.

To view the extensive range of Nanmu Studio prehistoric animal models in stock at Everything Dinosaur: Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series Models and Figures.

The Nanmu Studio Spinosaurus Pharaoh

The Nanmu Studio Spinosaurus Pharaoh is aptly named. After all fossils of the iconic Spinosaurus aegyptiacus are known from Egypt. Spinosaurus could be the largest terrestrial carnivore that ever lived. Size estimates vary, but many palaeontologists estimate that Spinosaurus could have been more than 14 metres in length. This figure is not quite so huge, but it still measures an impressive 42 cm long and it stands around 21 cm tall. The Nanmu Studio Spinosaurus Pharaoh has a declared scale of 1:35.

A Deluxe Display Base

The display base for this detailed figure features the severed head of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Debris from a plane is also included. The model represents a classic scene from the third movie in the “Jurassic Park” film franchise. This film released in 2001 introduced cinema audiences to Spinosaurus. In the famous scene a Spinosaurus kills a T. rex in an epic fight.

The dinosaur display base has incredible detail. It measures approximately 20 cm in length. The display base is 11 cm across at its widest part.
