Product details
Oviraptor was an oviraptorid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia, famous for its lightweight, highly specialized anatomy and for providing key information about the reproductive behavior and biology of non-avian theropods. Far from the initial image of an "egg thief," it is now interpreted as an animal closely related to birds, probably omnivorous or opportunistic, and with advanced parental care.
The skeleton of Oviraptor is characterized by a short, tall, and deeply modified skull , completely toothless and topped by a horny beak similar to that of birds. In many adult individuals, the skull features a raised, highly vascularized bony crest , which likely served a function of display and social recognition. The lower jaw is robust and articulated in a way that allowed for a powerful bite, suitable for processing hard foods such as eggs, seeds, or small vertebrates. The neck is long and flexible, composed of slender cervical vertebrae that provided great head mobility.
A particularly important specimen is the juvenile known as "Spike," one of the most complete and best-preserved Oviraptor skeletons. This specimen has been fundamental to understanding the ontogenetic development of the group. In "Spike," the skull still lacks a fully developed crest, confirming that this structure formed progressively with age. The cranial sutures are poorly fused, and the skeletal bones show juvenile proportions, with relatively long limbs and a more slender body than in adults.
The skeleton of “Spike” has also allowed scientists to document the distribution of plumage in oviraptorids: fossil impressions and phylogenetic comparisons indicate that Oviraptor was covered in feathers, with likely well-developed feathers on its arms, forming wing-like structures, although not functional for flight. These characteristics reinforce its close relationship with birds and its key role in the study of the origin of avian behaviors.

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.
