Takamas Geoworld Collection

Oh this figure is featherd, its just hard to see in my current photos. I will post one of the body when I get the chance

Here you go

At first glance, you would think its unfeatherd, but close inspection shows "something".

Caudipteryx
Caudipteryx was a turkey sized dinosaur that was related to Oviraptor. It Was covered in feathers, and even it had wings. Even though it had wings, it could not fly due to the lack of Flight feathers, and it probably used them for show along with its tail fan, like a lot of birds do today.

Cool model  

Exactly a race-car dino for me   

What a fabulous model    

Corythosaurus

Corythosaurus has a crest that was shared by other Hadrosaurs, but remains different thanks to its skeleton. It was known to live in swamplands, and in herds. It was also one of a few dinosaurs that has left skin impressions on its skeleton. There were originally seven species belonging to this dinosaur, but all the bones from them have been proven to be different ages and sex of the same species, and so only one is valid.

Very nice again!

Diplodocus.
Diplodocus is one of the better known Sauropod’s, with four known species. It is notable for its long neck, and whip like tail that can created a cracking sound thanks to the supersonic speeds it moves at. Its tail consisted of around 80 vertebra, where’s its neck only had 15. Rather or not it held its neck horizontally is currently up to debate. The dinosaur gets its name thanks to a row of chevron shaped bones underneath its tail, normally these type of bones would be v shaped but in Diplodocus case, they were T shaped making look like they were double beamed (the meaning of Diplodocus’s name.). Diplodocus is also among the most famous dinosaurs thanks to the American industrialist Andrew Carnegie whose paleontologist discovered a complete specimen, and displayed it in his museum. He also made 11 copies of it, and donated them to some major museums around the world, including the Natural History Museum in London England, were it can be seen to this day. Though it is possible for Sauropod’s like diplodocus to stand on its hind feet, it was highly impossible for it to keep the position for very long without breaking its legs. The only reason it would stand like this is to knock down trees, like the way Elephants do today.

Albertosaurus
When this dinosaur was first studied in1892, it was assigned to the Genus Laelaps, but the name Laelaps was already taken by a mite, so it was named as a species of Dryptosaurus, However Further study's of the bones later indicate that this creature was own genus and was named Albertasaurus.
Albertosaurus was a Tyrannosaur from the Province of Alberta. It is now a widely known Canadian Theropod that shared some similarity's with Gorgosaurus, but there were differences that separate them into different Genus's.

I missed all these new additions! Congratulations, they are very nice!

Ohhh! They are SO beautyful   

Your three last additions are so great, and your photoes and descriptions too.
The description of the Corythosaurus made me smile. So different ages were thought to be differnet species, - don't we know that from humans also sometimes    - except the members of STS, of course

I get more and more fond of Geoworld, - if only they weren't so expensive with shipping and all !  
 

Congratulations again!

Saurornitholestes

This dinosaur was a small dromeosaur from Canada, that resembled Velociraptor. Like Other Dromeosaurs, it ate meat, and had a couple of sickle claws on its feet. There is evidence that at least one individual of this species actually fed on the meat of the giant Pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus,(However, the Pterosaur was likely a juvenile, and it was probably already dead when the Saurornitholestes found it)

Nice dinosaur find!!

Wonderful models, - one more !!!   

Thankyou for introducing us to theese wonderful models, and thankyou again for telling about the species   

There's more to come withen the comeing week

  

Yangchuanosaurus

This Asian Dinosaur was A Theropod that was very similar Allosaurus, in not only shape of the body, but also in lifestyle with other fauna. Like Allosaurus, it Preyed on Sauropods, and was likely thagomized by stegosaurs.

Mamenchisaurus

Mamenchisaurus had the longest neck of any Dinosaur for a while in the fossil record(Now its outsized by giants like Sauroposidan, and Supersaurus). The neck had 19 vertebra, and made the neck about as long as its body and tail combined. The Tail was fairly long as well, and on at least one species, it had fused spines at the end that formed some type of club.

Congratulations!

One more great dino    

What a scary critter, - and what great colours the model has

Daspletosaurus

Being another large Tyrannosaur. Despletosaurus had a big head, short arms, and sharp teeth that were larger then those of its descendent Tyrannosaurus. It was first found in Montana and further finds showed the possibility that it hunted in packs, because three Daspletosaurus specimens were found in the vicinity of Five Hadrosaurs. (However, it should be noted that the hadrosaurs could of also died from other causes and the Three Daspletosaurus may have found them)

Styracosaurus

Styracosaurus had the most heavily horned face of any Ceratopsian, six long horns, and so smaller horns jutted out of the Frill. It is known that Juveniles also had a couple horns over there eyebrows that disappear as it matured. It is also known to be a herd animal, due to several skeletons being found in the same spot. It coexisted with various Hadrosaurs and other ceratopsians, as well as Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus, which were most likely Styracosaurus sworn enemies.

Nice again

Jobaria

Jobaria is a dinosaur that used to be regarded as a Macronarian (big nosed) Sauropod that was related to Brachiosaurus and Camerasaurus, only it lived at a later time then them. However, new study's of the strata of wince it came revealed that actually lived during the Jurassic Period, and that it was not a Macronarian at all, but a more primitive Sauropod dinosaur. It was unique because its back limbs seemed to be stronger then those on other Sauropods so it was able to rear up on its two legs without much hassle.

Dilong

Dilong is primitive Tyrannosaurid from the Early cretaceous of china. It was found to have a covering of proto feathers, that were made to keep it warm. Dilong also had a V shaped Crest on top of its head

I always get so happy when I see there are news from you   

Beautyful models, great photoes and your great little descriptions   

Deinonychus

Deinonychus was a Dromeosaurid that was found in America, and it was the first Dromeosaur to be fully understood. Before its discovery in the 1960s, dinosaurs were seen as big sluggish and cold blooded creatures that were destined for extinction, so when It was discovered that Deinonychus was small, lightly built, and likely more agile Scientists were willing to rethink that thought which later gave rise to the Dinosaur Renaissance(A time when scientists were changing the way we would view dinosaurs).

Deinonychus was often found in numbers around the remains of a iguanodont called Tenotosaurus, which was much larger then the little hunter, and thus it is believed that it hunted in packs.
