A New Nanotyrannus Video

A new scientific paper published this week postulated that Nanotyrannus (N. lancensis) is a valid taxon. The study was published in the journal “Fossil Studies”. Several lines of scientific enquiry were explored, and the researchers concluded the fossil material ascribed to Nanotyrannus probably did not represent examples of juvenile T. rex.

One of the authors of the study is Dr Nicholas Longrich of the University of Bath. The other author is fellow palaeontologist Dr Evan Saitta, a PhD graduate of the University of Bristol and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago.

Everything Dinosaur team members created a short video to highlight this research.

Nanotyrannus Models

The debate surrounding the validity of Nanotyrannus is likely to continue. Indeed, this taxon has attracted controversy ever since it was first formally erected in 1946 (Gilmore). However, model manufacturers have produced Nanotyrannus figures. For example, in 2021 PNSO introduced “Logan the Nanotyrannus” and Safari Ltd have made a Dino Dana Nanotyrannus (see below).

Dinosaur fans and model collectors can discuss the validity of this taxon and perhaps these tyrannosaurs can do battle with other tyrannosaur figures animals such as Tarbosaurus and of course Tyrannosaurus rex.

T. rex Ontogeny

More than twenty Tyrannosaurus rex specimens have been described. Palaeontologists are aware that this dinosaur changed its body plan dramatically as it grew and matured. A juvenile T. rex had a proportionately much smaller head, a slender neck and longer legs than the adults. This change in body shape is so dramatic that in all likelihood, juveniles behaved very differently than mature animals. They also probably hunted in different ways.

It is as if adult and juvenile T. rex were different species. If this is the case, then juveniles occupied a very different niche in the ecosystem compared to the fully-grown tyrannosaurs. This helps to explain the confusion over the taxonomy of all the tyrannosaur specimens currently assigned to Nanotyrannus lancensis/Tyrannosaurus rex.

The scientific paper: “Taxonomic Status of Nanotyrannus lancensis (Dinosauria: Tyrannosauroidea) — A Distinct Taxon of Small-Bodied Tyrannosaur” by Nicholas R. Longrich and Evan T. Saitta published in Fossil Studies.

By Mike|2024-01-04T16:50:05+00:00January 4th, 2024|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new for 2024 PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus replica will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks. This Spinosaurus figure reflects some of the recent scientific revisions concerning this theropod. The model measures an impressive 32.5 cm long. In its bipedal stance the Spinosaurus stands 14 cm tall.

Aymen the Spinosaurus

PNSO have manufactured several Spinosaurus figures including 1:35 scale replicas. Aymen is also in 1:35 scale and it will be supplied with twenty sci-art posters. These posters feature several other members of the Spinosauridae family.

A replica Spinosaurus aegyptiacus skull will also be included in the product packaging.

The PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus will also be supplied with a forty-eight page, full-colour booklet.

Spinosaurus Model Measurements

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that the figure measured 32.5 cm in length and that the top of the head was around 14 cm off the ground. Based on the stated scale, this would suggest that Spinosaurus aegyptiacus reached a length of around 11. 3 metres.

This new Spinosaurus figure is longer than both the recently introduced PNSO Saurophaganax and Yangchuanosaurus models.

CollectA Deluxe Dearc sgiathanach Model

Fans of the CollectA Deluxe and Supreme ranges have been eager to learn more about this new 1:3 scale flying reptile figure. We have been asked to confirm the model’s measurements.

The pterosaur measures approximately 39 cm from the tip of its tail vane to the end of the articulated jaw. Dearc’s head is around 11.5 cm off the ground. In addition, the tallest wing tip is 16.3 cm high. The model’s width is approximately 13.5 cm.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised the colouration of this new pterosaur figure. The spokesperson stated:

“Dearc has been given a similar colouration as the northern gannet. This is appropriate as Dearc probably filled a similar niche in the Jurassic ecosystem. In addition, gannets are very common on the Isle of Skye where the Dearc fossils were found.”

The spokesperson also confirmed that this exciting new pterosaur figure will be available in early 2024.

Did Moros intrepidus Have Two Digits or Three?

By Mike|2024-01-07T15:30:02+00:00December 18th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The Schleich Moros intrepidus model is now in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Everything Dinosaur team members asked their customers about the number of digits on this dinosaur’s hand. When first described (2019), this dinosaur was depicted in the media release notes with two digits. However, metacarpals and phalanges of this dinosaur are unknown. Hand bones and finger bones have not been found. So, we asked the question – did Moros intrepidus have two digits or three on each hand?

Team members created a YouTube video short exploring this topic.

Schleich Dinosaur Models

The first four new for 2024 Schleich dinosaur models are now in stock. These models may not be that scientifically accurate. However, they are popular with young dinosaur fans as they are ideal for robust, creative play.

The four new Schleich figures in stock (December 2023) are:

Moros intrepidus.
Allosaurus.
Concavenator.
Bajadasaurus.

To view the range of Schleich prehistoric animal models: Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models and Figures.

The Schleich Moros dinosaur model has two digits on each hand. However, other members of the Tyrannosauroidea superfamily had three digits per hand. For example, dinosaurs such as Guanlong (G. wucaii) and Proceratosaurus (P. bradleyi) are thought to have had three digits on the hand.

With palaeontology, one single fossil bone can change perceptions about a prehistoric animal. If the phalanges of Moros are discovered then scientists will have a definitive answer to this question (probably).

New Schleich Moros intrepidus – Two Digits or Three?

By Mike|2023-12-18T17:26:48+00:00December 17th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new for 2024 Schleich Moros intrepidus model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Schleich have given their Moros figure two digits on each hand, do you think this is correct? The manus of this tyrannosauroid is unknown. No fossils of hand bones or fingers have been found, as far as we at Everything Dinosaur are aware. Did this distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex have two fingers on each hand?

We will post up a brief video on our social media pages asking this question shortly.

Moros intrepidus – Two Digits on the Hand or Three?

This small tyrannosauroid lived around thirty million years before T. rex evolved. When it was described (Zanno et al, 2019), the illustration that accompanied the media notes showed this dinosaur with two digits per hand.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s blog post from 2019 about this dinosaur: Fleet-footed Tyrannosaur Leaps 70 Million Year Gap.

Earlier tyrannosauroids had three digits on each hand. So, the question is how many digits on each hand did Moros have? In Everything Dinosaur’s short video, we ask our fans, followers and customers for their views.
