Product description and measurements

Aquilops americanus, a dinosaur that belonged to the ceratopsian group, specifically the Protoceratopsidae family. This dinosaur lived during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 113 million years ago. Its name, "Aquilops", is derived from the Latin "Aquil" meaning "eagle" and "ops" meaning "face" or "aspect", referring to the appearance of its skull.

Aquilops americanus was a small dinosaur compared to other ceratopsians. It is estimated that it was around 60 centimeters long and stood approximately 30 centimeters high at the hip. It had a relatively small and light body, front legs shorter than the rear legs, and a tail that extended from the back of its body.

The most distinctive feature of the Aquilops was its head, which was adorned with a pair of small horns on top of its eyes, giving it a slightly similar appearance to the larger ceratopsians that lived later. These horns were small compared to those of its later relatives, such as Triceratops, but were an important feature on its skull.

Although Aquilops americanus had a similar appearance to ceratopsians, it is believed that its diet was different. Later ceratopsians were mainly herbivores and ate plants, while it is thought that Aquilops may have had a more varied diet, possibly including insects and other small organisms.

Fossils of Aquilops americanus have been found in what is now the state of Montana, in the United States. The discovery of this dinosaur is important in paleontology because it sheds light on the diversity of ceratopsians in the Early Cretaceous of North America and helps to better understand the evolution of these dinosaurs. Furthermore, it represents one of the first records of ceratopsians in this geographical region and in this time of the Cretaceous.

    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.

    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.
