Product details
Majungasaurus crenatissimus , an abelisaurid theropod from the Late Cretaceous (ca. 70–66 million years ago), is one of the most studied examples of abelisaurids due to its relatively complete preservation. This dinosaur, native to present-day Madagascar, had a short, robust skull that was highly specialized for its predatory lifestyle.
The skull of Majungasaurus measures approximately 50–60 centimetres in length , depending on the individual. It is proportionally shorter and deeper compared to more classical theropods such as tyrannosaurids, and features distinctive features of abelisaurids such as a short and broad snout, adapted to withstand high mechanical forces during biting. This skull design suggests a hunting style that probably involved powerful bites to tear or rip apart prey, rather than chasing or capturing it through agility.
Cranial ornamentation is another notable feature. The bones of the skull are covered with grooves, ridges, and small protuberances that are thought to have been related to visual display or structural reinforcements. One of the most striking features is the nasal crest , located on the top of the snout. Although its exact function is not known, it has been suggested that it may have been used for recognition between individuals, display during social behaviors, or even intraspecific combat.
In terms of dentition, Majungasaurus' teeth are small relative to the size of its skull, but have serrated edges that made them effective at cutting meat. Their arrangement also indicates that this dinosaur had a powerful bite well adapted to its carnivorous diet. Fossil evidence of tooth marks on bones of other Majungasaurus indicates that this theropod practiced cannibalism , making it one of the few dinosaurs with direct evidence of this behavior.
Internally, the skull shows bone adaptations that indicate a strong connection between the skull and the jaw, providing stability during the use of extreme force when biting. Furthermore, analysis of the neurocranium (the part that housed the brain) has revealed that Majungasaurus had a well-developed olfactory system, suggesting that the sense of smell was important for its behavior, possibly for locating prey or carrion.

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.

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.
