Discover the Amazing Pterygoid Teeth on the Palate of a Mosasaurus Model

By |2026-08-05T16:53:03+01:00August 9th, 2026|Categories: Wild Safari Prehistoric World|0 Comments

There are many details to admire in the new Wild Safari Prehistoric World Mosasaurus model. For example, there are pterygoid teeth on the roof of the mouth. The best prehistoric animal figures feature anatomical details that elevate them above other figures. The inclusion of the remarkable Mosasaurus pterygoid teeth is a sure sign that a great deal of care and attention was involved in the design process.

The choanae are paired openings on the roof of the mouth (the palate) that connect the oral cavity to the nasal passages. The pterygoid teeth help to grip slippery prey and manoeuvre food items down the gullet. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Prehistoric animal models capture our imagination.  They can have striking colour schemes and dramatic poses.  However, the very best models also include substantial anatomical details. These details help to bring the animal to life and can inspire a collector to ask questions about that long extinct creature. Furthermore, accurate prehistoric animal figures encourage collectors and young dinosaur fans to look more closely at prehistoric life.

Mosasaurus Pterygoid Teeth

Most reptiles have teeth attached to their upper and lower jaws. Mosasaurs, however, possessed an additional set of teeth on bones known as the pterygoids, located on the roof of the mouth. These Mosasaurus pterygoid teeth acted like a second row of backwards-pointing hooks. Once prey had been seized by the jaws, the pterygoid teeth helped grip and push the prey item down the gullet. When tackling slippery fish or a struggling marine reptile, a second set of teeth on the palate came in handy.

Many lizards and snakes living today have pterygoid teeth.  This shared anatomical trait helps to demonstrate that the Mosasauridae family are members of the Squamata.

The model has a forked tongue and pterygoid teeth.  In addition, the skin texture reflects current scientific understanding.  Furthermore, the model has an asymmetrical (hypocercal) tail.

Hidden Details Rewarding Curious Minds

Many collectors may never notice the pterygoid teeth unless they look inside the model’s open mouth. Nevertheless, including them demonstrates a commitment to scientific accuracy that deserves recognition. Observant collectors might spot the forked tongue too.

It is often these small anatomical features that transform a model from a simple toy into an educational resource. A single question can lead to discussions about anatomy, adaptation, evolution and fossil evidence. In our view, inspiring curiosity is one of the greatest strengths of well-designed prehistoric animal figures.

At Everything Dinosaur, we have always believed that scientifically accurate models can play an important role in science education. Young fossil enthusiasts frequently learn about extinct animals through books and museum visits, but handling a detailed model provides another valuable way to explore prehistoric life. The new Wild Safari Prehistoric World Mosasaurus is an excellent reminder that attention to detail matters. Every carefully sculpted anatomical trait helps tell the story of an animal that ruled the world’s oceans during the Late Cretaceous.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Sometimes, the most fascinating feature of a prehistoric animal model is hidden in plain sight. In this case, it is the remarkable Mosasaurus pterygoid teeth, a small detail that makes a very big impression”.

Safari Ltd have introduced an updated and more scientifically accurate Mosasaurus.  The model has no declared scale, but it does measure nearly twenty centimetres in length.  We are uncertain as to which species the model might represent.

Everything Dinosaur received photographs of the model from the manufacturer. One photograph shows this new marine reptile figure taking to water.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is a highly detailed figure, and the subtle painting is fantastic.”

Scientifically Accurate

The design team have taken great care to incorporate scientifically accurate details into this figure.  For example, there are pterygoid teeth in the roof of the mouth. Furthermore, the figure has a forked tongue. There are a pair of openings in the roof of the mouth. They hint at the presence of a Jacobson’s organ. It is a specialised sensory structure helping Mosasaurus to detect particles in water. This detail on the model, links it to the anatomy of modern snakes and lizards. Indeed, mosasaurs were squamates.

The figure has a hypocercal tail. An asymmetrical tail fin found in certain fish and marine reptiles where the spinal column or notochord extends into the lower lobe, making the bottom part larger or more pronounced than the upper part.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur added:

“Furthermore, the Mosasaurus figure has a hypocercal tail. The lower lob of the tail is larger than the upper lobe.”

Dinosaur fans and model collectors can add a beautiful replica of this Late Cretaceous Asian tyrannosaur to their collections. There are two colour schemes available (green and brown):

  1. Haolonggood Tarbosaurus Wu Tian Xi (green colouration).
  2. Haolonggood Tarbosaurus Yang Lin (brown colouration).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“They are great figures.  Tarbosaurus is known from dozens of fossil specimens recovered from the famous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia. In addition, more fragmentary and isolated remains have been found in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of western China.”

Detailed Theropod Dinosaur Models

The Haolonggood design team have a terrific reputation for creating quality dinosaur models. Several theropods have already been added to their model range.  The two, new Tarbosaurus models are welcome additions.  These models will be available from Everything Dinosaur shortly.  Each model is approximately thirty centimetres long (1:35 scale).

Haolonggood Tarbosaurus models

Each tyrannosaur figure measures around thirty centimetres in length and stands approximately eleven centimetres tall.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained that Tarbosaurus bataar was an apex predator in its palaeoenvironment.  Collectors can display this carnivorous dinosaur alongside the Haolonggood Saurolophus hadrosaur models. Saurolophus and Tarbosaurus were coeval and it is likely that Tarbosaurus hunted Saurolophus.

Two more fabulous tyrannosaur figures to add to your collection.

New CollectA Sivatherium Model Coming into Stock

By |2026-08-02T21:50:02+01:00July 26th, 2026|Categories: CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

The new CollectA Sivatherium figure is coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur.  Mike and Sue are looking forward to the arrival of the 1:20 scale model.  It will be in stock next month (August). The model of “Shiva’s beast” is in 1:20 scale.

CollectA Deluxe male Sivatherium giganteum.

The new CollectA male Sivatherium model shown in lateral view.

The CollectA Sivatherium Figure

This new for 2026 prehistoric animal model measures a fraction under sixteen centimetres long.  Those remarkable ossicones are around sixteen and half centimetres off the ground.  It represents a male Sivatherium giganteum. The Sivatherium forms part of the CollectA Other Prehistoric Animals model series. Model collectors have lobbied for a Sivatherium figure and CollectA have delivered in 2026. Fossils of S. giganteum come from the Siwalik Hills of India.

This prehistoric giraffid was formally named and described in 1836 (Falconer and Cautley). The CollectA figure depicts a powerful and robust animal. It has a strong, thick neck. The head is large and the muzzle tapers to a mouth with large, probably prehensile lips. These lips helped this enormous browser cope with tough thorns on the branches that it fed upon.

To view the CollectA Deluxe range of prehistoric animal models: CollectA Deluxe Prehistoric Animal Figures.

The CollectA Sivatherium figure has a scar on the left forelimb close to the scapula. This wound could have been caused by a predator. Sivatherium shared its ecosystem with some very large mammalian predators.  For example, there were sabre-toothed cats (Machairodontinae), other felids and other carnivores.  However, the damage to the animal’s shoulder could have been caused by a rival Sivatherium.  It is thought that just like modern giraffes, these large herbivores indulged in intra-specific combat.

A Model of a Prehistoric Giraffe

The Sivatherium genus was widespread. Fossils of species have been found in places as far apart as southern Africa and central Asia. Sivatherium giganteum was the largest species. Scientists have estimated that it was a heavy as an extant giraffe with males weighing more than 1.25 tonnes.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Model collectors have been asking for a Sivatherium figure for a while now.  It is great to see that CollectA have added a model of this iconic animal to their model range.”

Collectors can choose between a rich reddish-brown version and a lighter yellowish-brown edition. Both figures share the same brown base colour, but each has its own distinctive finish. The subtle differences are much more noticeable when the models are viewed in person. These figures will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur soon.

The two colour variants of the Haolonggood 1:35 scale Woolly Mammoth model (light and dark).

Each 1:35 scale Mammuthus primigenius model measures approximately twenty centimetres in length and stands around ten and a half centimetres tall. The figures have been carefully sculpted to capture the appearance of one of the most iconic Ice Age mammals.  Remains extracted from thawing permafrost have provided palaeontologists with samples of hair.  From these samples, scientists have been able to determine the colour of these prehistoric elephants.  In our view, both colour variants are perfectly acceptable.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Haolonggood continues to expand its Ancient Witness series with beautifully detailed prehistoric animal models. These new Woolly Mammoth figures are excellent additions to the range, and we are sure collectors will appreciate having two distinctive colour versions to choose from.”

Everything Dinosaur expects both Haolonggood Woolly Mammoth models to be in stock very soon. Customers can look forward to adding these beautifully crafted Ice Age replicas to their collections in the near future.

A member of the royal family, Helina abandoned her home to train as a fighter.  She has a mutation that enables her to communicate with prehistoric beasts.  Her life as a street fighter and rustler led her to clash with the authorities.  With a commuted death sentence hanging over her, she joined the gladiator reform programme.  She excelled in her new role, earning her the name “Dragolina” due to her rare ability to tame and ride dragons.

Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus Figures with New Colouration

The latest Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus figures retain the excellent sculpting associated with this Chinese manufacturer. However, these models have been re-introduced with striking new colour schemes. Both the Lv Fang and Guo Sheng models represent Pachyrhinosaurus, a fascinating member of the horned dinosaur family. This Late Cretaceous centrosaurine is famous for its unusual skull ornamentation.

Unlike many of its relatives, Pachyrhinosaurus did not have a large nose horn. Instead, it possessed a thickened boss of bone over the nose. Scientists remain uncertain as to the exact purpose of this feature. It may have been used for visual display, species recognition or interactions between members of the herd. Several Pachyrhinosaurus species have been named.

Collectors can choose between two beautiful colour variants. The Guo Sheng Pachyrhinosaurus has a bold, distinctive and mainly green colour scheme. In contrast, Lv Fang offers collectors another interpretation of this iconic dinosaur.  The Haolonggood Lv Fang figure has a blue/grey colouration. Each model has been carefully painted to highlight the animal’s anatomy. In addition, these figures capture the power and presence of a large ceratopsian.

Pachyrhinosaurus lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous. Large herds may have roamed these palaeoenvironments, sharing their world with a diverse range of other dinosaurs.

Everything Dinosaur Welcomes the New Haolonggood Models

We are delighted to welcome these updated Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus figures into stock.

Amazing Haolonggood Sarcosuchus Models Arrive at Everything Dinosaur

By |2026-07-04T06:48:03+01:00July 3rd, 2026|Categories: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

The eagerly anticipated Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models have arrived at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse. Two superb 1:35 scale replicas of the enormous prehistoric crocodile Sarcosuchus are now in stock.

Collectors can choose between two striking colour variants. The Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Tong Meng features a beautiful brown colouration. In contrast, the Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Tong Wei has a greener colour scheme. They are both fabulous scale replicas of an ancient pseudosuchian that was scientifically described sixty years ago (Broin and Taquet).

Both figures demonstrate Haolonggood’s commitment to creating highly detailed prehistoric animal models. Furthermore, these replicas provide collectors with the opportunity to add one of the most spectacular crocodyliforms of all time to their model displays.

To view the range of Haolonggood prehistoric animal models: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animals.

Two Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Models Available

The two Sarcosuchus figures have been introduced in 1:35 scale. They reflect Haolonggood’s continued expansion beyond dinosaurs into other fascinating prehistoric animals. The Tong Meng model combines subtle brown tones with careful detailing to highlight the animal’s powerful body shape. Meanwhile, the Tong Wei figure uses a greener colour palette, providing collectors with an alternative interpretation of this giant predator.

Sarcosuchus imperator remains one of the most famous prehistoric reptiles known to science. Its fossils come from Early Cretaceous deposits of Africa. This huge animal lived during the Early Cretaceous and shared its environment with a variety of dinosaurs.  Dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Ouranosaurus.

Although often nicknamed “SuperCroc”, Sarcosuchus was not a direct ancestor of modern crocodiles. Instead, it is a distant relative of extant crocodilians.

Sarcosuchus – A Giant from the Early Cretaceous

Fossil evidence suggests that Sarcosuchus imperator was an enormous predator. Large individuals may have exceeded nine metres in length. Its long jaws contained numerous conical teeth ideal for gripping slippery prey. This remarkable reptile probably hunted fish and other animals around rivers and waterways. In addition, larger individuals may have been capable of tackling dinosaurs that ventured too close to the water’s edge.

The distinctive enlarged structure at the end of the snout, known as a bulla, remains one of the most recognisable features of Sarcosuchus. Scientists continue to debate its exact purpose.

Everything Dinosaur team members research every prehistoric animal represented in the company’s extensive model range. A free Sarcosuchus fact sheet is supplied with purchases of these new Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models.

The fact sheet provides additional information about this amazing prehistoric predator. It helps collectors learn more about the fossil discoveries and the science behind the replica.

Praising the Haolonggood Sarcosuchus Figures

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Haolonggood continues to impress collectors with its range of prehistoric animal figures. These new Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models demonstrate the company’s attention to detail and their willingness to explore remarkable creatures beyond the Dinosauria. Sarcosuchus is one of the most iconic animals of the Early Cretaceous, and we think collectors are going to enjoy these two exciting new figures.”

The arrival of these models highlights the increasing diversity available to prehistoric animal model collectors.

The new Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models are available from Everything Dinosaur. Collectors can choose the brown Tong Meng figure, the green Tong Wei version or add both replicas to their collection.
