Product description and measurements
Ekrixinatosaurus novasi is an extinct species of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, approximately 97 million years ago, in what is now South America, specifically in the region of Patagonia, Argentina. This dinosaur belongs to the group of abelisaurids, a family of theropods characterized by their carnivorous adaptations and their distribution mainly in the ancient continents of the southern hemisphere.

Ekrixinatosaurus novasi is notable for its relatively large size, with an estimated length of around 10 to 11 meters. Like other abelisaurids, it had a robust and deep skull, with powerful jaws equipped with sharp, recurved teeth, designed to tear flesh. These features indicate that it was an active predator, capable of hunting large prey, although it is possible that it also fed on carrion on some occasions.

Ekrixinatosaurus had a muscular body with a robust build that provided it with the strength needed to hunt and dominate other animals. The forelimbs of this dinosaur were noticeably reduced, a common feature among abelisaurids, suggesting that the front legs did not play a significant role in capturing prey. In contrast, its hind limbs were long and powerful, adapted for bipedal locomotion, allowing it to run quickly to ambush prey or escape dangerous situations.

The name Ekrixinatosaurus means "explosion lizard," referring to the fact that the fossils were found after an explosion during excavations, while "novasi" honors the Argentine paleontologist Fernando Novas, who has made significant contributions to the study of South American dinosaurs.

The fossils of Ekrixinatosaurus novasi were discovered in the Candeleros Formation, in Neuquén Province, a region known for its rich diversity of Cretaceous dinosaurs. The discovery of Ekrixinatosaurus has been fundamental to understanding the diversity and evolution of abelisaurids in South America, a group that dominated the terrestrial ecosystems of the continent for much of the Cretaceous. The anatomical structure of Ekrixinatosaurus reflects a combination of primitive and derived features within abelisaurids, making it an important reference point in the evolution of these theropods.

The anatomy of Ekrixinatosaurus suggests that it was an apex predator in its ecosystem, occupying a similar ecological niche to other large theropods of its time, but with specific adaptations that allowed it to thrive in the particular environment of Patagonia during the Cretaceous. The coexistence of Ekrixinatosaurus with other large carnivorous dinosaurs in the same region reflects the complexity of prehistoric South American ecosystems, where multiple species of large predators shared the same habitats.

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.
