Product details
Estemmenosuchus mirabilis was a large dynocephalian therapsid that lived during the Middle Permian, approximately 267 to 260 million years ago, in what is now the Ural Mountains and the Kama River basin in Russia. This animal belonged to the basal therapsid group, a lineage that would later give rise to mammals, and was characterized by a robust anatomy and an extraordinarily ornate skull that distinguishes it from other primitive synapsids.
The body of Estemmenosuchus was bulky and robust, with an estimated length of around 4–5 meters and a considerable weight that made it one of the dominant terrestrial vertebrates in its ecosystem. Its trunk was wide and deep, supported by relatively strong limbs arranged in a semi-extended posture, intermediate between the typical lateral reptilian posture and the more upright position that would later evolve in mammals. The legs were short but powerful, adapted to support the animal's weight and to move relatively slowly but steadily through the riverine and forested environments of the Permian.
The most striking feature of Estemmenosuchus mirabilis was its large, broad skull, adorned with numerous bony protuberances and horn-like structures emerging from the frontal, parietal, and jugal bones. These cranial expansions formed a kind of irregular crown of bony projections that were likely covered in life by keratinized tissue or thickened skin. The exact function of these structures remains a subject of debate, although it has been suggested that they may have played a role in visual display, recognition among individuals of the same species, or even in ritualized combat between males during territorial or reproductive disputes.
The skull also featured large temporal fenestrae, a characteristic trait of therapsids, which allowed for the attachment of jaw muscles more developed than in more primitive reptiles. The jaws were armed with heterodont dentition, composed of relatively large incisors in the front and more robust posterior teeth with complex edges, adapted for grinding vegetation. This dentition suggests that Estemmenosuchus was primarily herbivorous or possibly omnivorous, feeding on soft plants, shoots, roots, and perhaps occasionally small animals or carrion.
The neck was relatively short but muscular, capable of supporting the heavy, ornate skull. Behind it extended a broad body with a well-developed ribcage that housed a digestive system capable of processing large quantities of plant material. The tail was relatively short and thick, functioning primarily as a stabilizer during locomotion.

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.
