A nice guy, I put mine on a 1/30 shelf which is already a scale for a big Eryops. How do you calculate the scale please ?

I want that Eryops. Great one. Collecta or other brand should also make one.

Nice figure

Very good model!

Hello everyone, sorry for the late answer, weirdly I didn't get email notifications for my thread.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Eryops' skull was about 60 cm long, the model's one is 1,7 cm, so you get 1:35.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] it's not hard to find on ebay. There's also a pinkish variant.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I agree!

*as said with Tylosaurus, there are uncertainties about the Mosasaurs phylogeny.

Fine model!

Thank you for showing it, Leyster. Is this dino articulated?

The Kaiyodo polar bear is beautiful. Although of course we all know that there an even more beautiful polar bear . Don't you have it yet?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] yes, it's an articulated toy made for the 2013 Walking With Dinosaurs 3D movie. And no, I do not collect sheeps

Not a genus that needs good representation, to be honest, but quite a nice Tyrannosaurus sculpture.

I'm back!


Binomial name: Cretoxyrhina mantelli Agassiz, 1835
Classification: Elasmobranchii->Euselachii->Neoselachii->Selachii->Galeomorphii->Lamniformes->Cretoxyrhinidae
Time: Cenomanian-Campanian (Late Cretaceous)
Formation: teeth of this taxon have been recovered almost in all continents
Manifacturer and date of release: PNSO, 2021
Sculptor: somebody in the atelier of Zhao Chuang
Scale: A friend of mine did his thesis on two specimens of this very shark species, so I wanted to extimated the model based on the specimens he studied. It's 1:31 for the largest specimen, 1:26 for the smallest one. One might arge that, being the PNSO Cretoxyrhina cleary male, the lower end of the extimate is the most likely one, but we do not know the exact size range of Cretoxyrhina.

Good to see you back. It seems that in contrast to other prehistoric sharks from which we only have teeth, we have preserved skeletons from this Cretoxyrhina mantelli, so we have a good idea of its size. The model is nearly 1/32 scale!

Great

I'm very tempted by this shark but I'm affraid I'm not rich renough to buy all the models I want

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] well, it might be 1:32 for a very large specimen (the bigger one my friend studied was large, but not the largest ever, which were likely around 7-8 meters long), but I'm bit hesitant at counting it as such because as far as I know, in modern Lamniformes for species where I found measurements of male and females listed the females are bigger than the males, and this figure is cleary male (it has claspers).
