Product description and measurements

Tupuxuara (T. leonardii, `Great pointed nose´) is an extinct genus of pterosaur that lived during the Aptian of the Lower Cretaceous period, approximately 112-100 million years ago. It was discovered in Brazil and is believed to have inhabited coastal and swampy areas, since fossil remains have been found in marine and freshwater sediments.

Scientists have identified several species of Tupuxuara, these animals are believed to have had a wingspan of up to 5 meters, making them one of the largest known pterosaurs.

Tupuxuara was a bipedal animal, that is, it walked on two legs, and had a long, narrow skull with a long, pointed jaw full of sharp teeth. It also had a distinctive bony crest on top of its head, probably used for display purposes or gender identification, blood vessels in the crest indicating that it was covered in skin.

Scientists believe that the Tupuxuara was an aerial predator that fed on fish, crustaceans, and other marine animals. Its long, narrow snout probably allowed it to capture prey with great precision and skill. In addition, their wingspan and their ability to fly allowed them to be very efficient in capturing food.

Tupuxuara has also become a topic of interest to paleontologists and evolutionary researchers due to its role in the evolution of pterosaurs. Pterosaurs are thought to have evolved from terrestrial reptiles and developed the ability to fly around 220 million years ago. Investigation of the fossils of Tupuxuara and other pterosaurs has provided valuable information about how these animals adapted to life in the air and how they evolved to become the large predators that they were.

Information about aftershocks

Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.

Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)

We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.

Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.

Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.

Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.

Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.

All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.

Information about the models

The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.

Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.

Handmade

All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.

We are authorized distributors

We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
