New analysis finds that dinosaurs and pterosaurs, were denser, and therefore, heavier than we thought!
Press release on the recent published paper concerning tetrapods body densities by
@Eofauna
members and with the collaboration of Gregory Paul.
COMING SOON!!!

step-by-step restoration.🦖💻
ℹ️Note: we found that at the rear end of the jaws there is not enough space to contain the outer skin folding in. So, the cheek extending down from the jugal is similar to what is found in living theropods.
The production of Tyrannosaurus "Sue" is finally complete, and it is now en route to our warehouse. It is expected to arrive by May.

The three-horned face giant: TRICERATOPS SP.*
* Do not confuse with T. horridus or T. prorsus. This animal likely belongs to a new unnamed species. It is based on the material recovered from the Hell Creek middle third Formation; mainly on MOR 3027 and UCMP 128561.
It's KONOBELODON ATTICUS
A gigantic&very advanced amebelodontid that represents the final evolutionary stage of the European shovel-tusker clade. It is characterized by enormous,dorso-ventrally flattened mandibular tusks and very large,straight upper tusks

We are so glad to announce that our 3 released figures last year, are in the TOP 5 of the "best figures of 2019" according to the votes at Dinosaur Toy Forum!

The delivery of the goods is being delayed more than expected due to the global situation. We are sorry for the delay.

We would like to notify that in this year we are deeply involved projects concerning to research and books, so we will be able to release only one figure at the end of this year. However, we will release more figures during the next years.
Hope you are all ok!
Take care!

A new study by Gregory Paul and the
@Eofauna
researcher, Asier Larramendi, suggests that the largest sauropods were on par with the greatest whales, and that it was easier to reach gigantic sizes on land than in the seas.
The new
@AnatRecord
cover* is based on the epic study about tetrapods body densities by
@Eofauna
members Asier Larramendi and Shu-yu Hsu, and with Gregory Paul as well.
Huge congratulations!!!!
"Prehistoric 'dwarf' elephants the size of small donkeys roamed the Mediterranean islands 800,000 years ago while their relatives became giants with 'grotesque' bulging heads"
A new paper on estimating the tusk weight of proboscideans through linear measurements conducted by our researcher Asier Larramendi, has just been published.
Some proboscidean tusks, particularly those of giant mammoth species could exceed 200 kg per side!
For this, we are basing on the 3D scan of the skull as it was discovered, Brochu's (2003) paper and with further help of Stan's (BHI 3033) complete skull. 🦖🔍📚💻 [2/2]
