Product description and measurements

Asfaltovenator vialidadi is a genus and extinct species of theropod dinosaur, discovered in Argentina and dating from the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 170 million years ago. Its name comes from the place of discovery, the La Buitrera asphalt quarry, in the province of Chubut, and was given in honor of the road engineer Don Luis Vialidadi, who facilitated access to the excavation sites.

Asfaltovenator vialidadi was a large carnivore, with an estimated length of about 7 to 8 meters. Its bone structure reveals primitive characteristics of tetanurans, a clade that includes most advanced theropods. This dinosaur possesses a unique mix of both primitive and derived characteristics, making it an important study subject for understanding early theropod evolution.

The skull of the Asfaltovenator is robust and elongated, with sharp, backward-curving teeth adapted to tearing flesh. The forelimbs were relatively short but powerful, equipped with sharp claws, while their hindlimbs were long and strong, suitable for running and active hunting. The tail was long and rigid, providing balance during locomotion.

The discovery of Asfaltovenator vialidadi provides valuable information about the diversity of theropods during the Middle Jurassic in Gondwana, the continental mass that would include South America. This discovery underlines the importance of Argentine Patagonia as a key region for the study of dinosaur evolution, offering new data on the fauna and ecosystems of that time.

      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.
