The Schleich Stegosaurus (2024)

Schleich have chosen to give their new ornithischian figure an extremely scaly skin. Schleich prehistoric animal models are known for their tactile qualities. The design team have worked hard on creating the model’s texture. The elaborate, multi-layered plates on the back of the model are intriguing. However, we don’t think these plates are scientifically accurate.

Stegosaurus is Popular

Schleich have produced several versions of Stegosaurus over the years. This armoured dinosaur is extremely popular with children. It regularly appears in the top five of our surveys examining the popularity of prehistoric animals.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We are looking forward to receiving the new Schleich Stegosaurus. It will be stock at Everything Dinosaur very soon. The Stegosaurus joins the new for 2024 Schleich figures that are already in our warehouse. We expect the new colour version of the Schleich Brachiosaurus, the red Brachiosaurus model will arrive at the same time as the Schleich Stegosaurus.”

This hand-painted Utahraptor replica measures twenty-three centimetres in length. It stands around eleven and a half centimetres tall. It is an extremely colourful dinosaur model. The vivid blue colouration reminds us of a budgerigar. Dromaeosaurids like Utahraptor are, after all, distantly related to modern birds. The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Utahraptor dinosaur model is supplied with an Everything Dinosaur Utahraptor fact sheet.

Everything Dinosaur has commissioned a new drawing of Carnotaurus sastrei. The abelisaurid drawing will be used in the company’s updated Carnotaurus fact sheet. The Carnotaurus fact sheet is sent out with sales of Carnotaurus models and figures.

Carnotaurus sastrei

This large theropod was named and described in 1985 by José Fernando Bonaparte. Bonaparte was an extremely influential figure in the development of palaeontology in South America. He is responsible for the scientific description of numerous dinosaurs from Patagonia, and he inspired a new generation of Argentinian palaeontologists.

The Carnotaurus illustration was inspired by the CollectA Deluxe 1:40 scale Carnotaurus sastrei figure. This popular dinosaur model was introduced in 2019.

Everything Dinosaur Fact Sheets

A spokesperson for Everything Dinosaur explained that for the vast majority of models and figures that the company supplies a free fact sheet about that prehistoric animal is sent out. Hundreds of fact sheets have been researched and written.

The spokesperson added:

“We continue to add to our free fact sheet inventory. The last two new fact sheets we introduced were for the tyrannosaur Alectrosaurus and the South American theropod Megaraptor namunhuaiquii. We commission illustrations of prehistoric animals such as Carnotaurus and this drawing will be used to update the scale drawing on our Carnotaurus fact sheet.”

Team members at Everything Dinosaur recently visited the Spielwarenmesse trade fair in Germany. Many of the buildings in this part of Bavaria are constructed from limestone. The limestone dates from the Jurassic and is highly fossiliferous. Whilst walking between the halls of the Spielwarenmesse on our way to another meeting, we spotted an ammonite fossil in the stone floor,

For example, this limestone slab has the remains of an ammonite clearly visible within it. The red arrow highlights the position of the ammonite fossil. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Looking for an Ammonite Fossil

Numerous fossils can be spotted entombed in the polished stone floors of the vast Messezentrum Nuremberg which hosts the international toy fair. Belemnites, bivalves and oyster shells are common. Ammonites tend to be a little rarer, but there are still plenty to see.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained that many municipal buildings in and around Nuremberg were built from limestone that contains lots of fossils. The sediments that went onto form the limestone were Upper Jurassic in age.

The spokesperson added:

“Nuremberg airport is famous for its fossils. It is always intriguing to see what we can spot in the floor tiles as we wait to board an aeroplane.

Tyrannosaur Figures Feature in New Customer Newsletter

By Mike|2024-01-30T07:27:25+00:00January 28th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Newsletters, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The seven, new for 2024 Beast of the Mesozoic tyrannosaurs are featured in the latest Everything Dinosaur customer newsletter. The latest Beasts of the Mesozoic tyrannosaur shipment arrived late last week. Team members at Everything Dinosaur have been busy contacting all those customers who wanted to be informed.

A newsletter was also emailed to the company’s subscriber list.

New Beasts of the Mesozoic Tyrannosaurs

The new articulated figures feature different members of the Tyrannosauroidea superfamily. The model representing the geologically oldest theropod is the Eotyrannus figure (Eotyrannus lengi). Eotyrannus fossils are associated with Lower Cretaceous deposits. All six of the other new tyrannosaur figures represent dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous.

Late Cretaceous Tyrannosaurs

The majority of the new tyrannosaur figures represent predators from either the Maastrichtian or Campanian faunal stages of the Late Cretaceous. Perhaps, one of the geologically youngest tyrannosaurs in this new wave of models would be Tarbosaurus (T. bataar). This Asian tyrannosaur is thought to have lived around seventy million years ago.

Alectrosaurus and Albertosaurus

The latest Everything Dinosaur customer newsletter highlighted two other new theropod figures. Alectrosaurus (A. olseni) fossils come from the Iren Dabasu Formation of Inner Mongolia. The date of this formation remains controversial. Some palaeontologists have suggested that this fast-running tyrannosaur may have roamed China approximately ninety million years ago.

In contrast, Albertosaurus (A. sarcophagus) fossils roamed Canada many millions of years later. The fossils of Albertosaurus sarcophagus seem to be confined to the Canadian province of Alberta. A second potential and coeval Albertosaurus may have been present further south (Mexico).

Preparing for the New Beasts of the Mesozoic Figures (Alectrosaurus)

By Mike|2024-01-22T09:30:56+00:00January 21st, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Drawings, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are busy preparing for the arrival of the new Beasts of the Mesozoic figures. They are wave three of the tyrannosaur series and the new figures will include the Asian tyrannosaur Alectrosaurus (Alectrosaurus olseni).

The new tyrannosaur figures include:

Eotyrannus lengi
Moros intrepidus
Albertosaurus sarcophagus
Gorgosaurus libratus
Daspletosaurus torosus
Tarbosaurus bataar
Alectrosaurus olseni

To view the range of Beasts of the Mesozoic models in stock: Beasts of the Mesozoic Models.

Alectrosaurus olseni

Alectrosaurus is known from hindlimb fossils and fragmentary elements of the hips. Much of the ascribed fossil material was discovered during the Third Asiatic Expedition to Inner Mongolia (China), by the American Museum of Natural History. It was formally described in 1933 (Gilmore).

The fossil material came from deposits associated with the Iren Dabasu Formation. The age of the strata remains uncertain. Relative dating using the abundant ostracod fossils suggest a Late Campanian to Maastrichtian age. However, the vertebrate assemblage represents fauna that indicate that the deposits are much older perhaps dating from the Turonian faunal stage. This would suggest that Alectrosaurus lived around 90 mya (million years ago).

The size of Alectrosaurus olseni is unknown. Its body length has been estimated at between five and six metres. Analysis of the limb bones and their ratios (femur to tibia), indicate that this dinosaur was a fast runner. It was probably a pursuit predator. The weight of A. olseni has been estimated to be around six hundred kilograms.

An Everything Dinosaur Scale Drawing

As part of our preparations for the arrival of the new Beasts of the Mesozoic tyrannosaurs, we have commissioned an Alectrosaurus scale drawing. This illustration will be incorporated into the free fact sheet that we will send out with the Alectrosaurus olseni model.

New Haolonggood Carnotaurus Models

Two new Haolonggood Carnotaurus models are coming to Everything Dinosaur. The two figures are part of a shipment that will be arriving in the UK soon. Both theropod models have articulated lower jaws.

Haolonggood Carnotaurus Models

These beautiful figures have been painted in stunning colours. Each model has a declared scale of 1:35. The Haolonggood Carnotaurus models measure 22.5 cm long and stand around 9.5 cm tall. They are spectacular models of the famous South American abelisaurid.

View the range of Haolonggood models and figures available: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models.

As with the vast majority of the prehistoric animals supplied by Everything Dinosaur. Each Carnotaurus model will be supplied with a unique Carnotaurus (C. sastrei) fact sheet.

Models of Carnotaurus sastrei

Named and described in 1985 (Bonaparte), Carnotaurus is known from an exceptional specimen. The only known fossil material consists of much of the anterior portion of the skeleton including the skull. It is thought to have been one of the largest of the Abelisauridae. Palaeontologists estimate that Carnotaurus may have measured around eight metres in length. However, it has been speculated that this predator could have grown much larger.

Commenting on the imminent arrival of these two Carnotaurus sastrei figures, a spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“The two Haolonggood Carnotaurus models are named Li Zhong and Zhou Tong. They are essentially the same sculpt, only the colour schemes are different. They are both exceptional models and each has an articulated jaw. We are looking forward to receiving this pair of dinosaur models into stock.”
