Product description and measurements
The Dracorex skull is a fascinating piece that has captured the imagination of both paleontologists and the general public. Dracorex, whose full name is Dracorex hogwartsia, is a dinosaur that belongs to the pachicephalosaurid family, known for their distinctively thick skulls often decorated with nodes and protuberances.

Here is a detailed description of the Dracorex skull:

General characteristics:
  • Size and Shape:
    • The skull of Dracorex is elongated and relatively flat compared to other members of its family, such as Pachycephalosaurus.
    • The total length of the skull can measure approximately 45 cm (18 in).

  • Ornamentation:
    • The skull is covered in bumps, nodules and small horns, giving it a very distinctive and draconian appearance.
    • On the top and back of the skull, there are a series of spines and protuberances, some of which may have served for intraspecific recognition or defense.

  • Cranial Dome:
    • Unlike other pachicephalosaurids that have a very pronounced and thick cranial dome, Dracorex's skull is flatter, although it still shows significant thickening in certain areas.
    • This feature suggests that Dracorex might have had different social or defensive behavior than its relatives with more rounded skulls.

  • Eyes and Nose:
    • The eye sockets are large, suggesting that Dracorex might have had good vision, potentially useful for detecting predators or competitors.
    • The nostrils are located in a fairly frontal position, a common characteristic in pachicephalosaurids.

  • Jaw and Teeth:
    • The lower jaw is robust, and the teeth are small and pointed, adapted for a herbivorous diet, probably composed of leaves and low vegetation.
Functions and Adaptations:
  • Defense and Competition:
    • Features of the Dracorex skull, including the protuberances and spines, could have served for intraspecific combat (between individuals of the same species) or as defense against predators.
    • The absence of an extremely pronounced cranial dome could indicate that head-butting behavior was not as prominent as in other pachicephalosaurids.

  • Visual comunication:
    • The skull ornamentations could have been used for visual communication, allowing individuals to recognize other members of their species or demonstrate their social status.
The Dracorex skull, with its draconian appearance and unique adaptations, represents a fascinating window into the world of dinosaurs and their morphological diversity. Furthermore, its name, "Dracorex hogwartsia", pays tribute to both dragons and the famous Hogwarts school from the Harry Potter series, reflecting the cultural and scientific impact that this discovery has had.

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.
