Product details
Tylosaurus (T. proriger 'Lumpy Lizard') is a genus of mosasaur, a prehistoric marine reptile that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 86 to 72 million years ago. It was one of the largest marine predators of its time and has been extensively studied by paleontologists due to its impressive size and unique features.
Tylosaurus had a long and slender body that allowed it to move quickly in the water. It is estimated that it could reach lengths of up to 14 meters, although some fossil specimens suggest that it could have been even larger. Its head was large and powerful, with a jaw lined with sharp, pointed teeth, designed to seize and tear at its prey. It had a short and muscular neck, adapted to move with agility in the water.
The Tylosaurus had four well-developed flippers that acted as paddles for swimming in the sea. Its forelimbs were shorter and more robust, while the hindquarters were longer and thinner, which allowed it to have greater maneuverability in the water. It also had a long, strong tail, which it used to propel itself through the water with lateral movements.
Tylosaurus inhabited warm, shallow seas that covered much of what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous. Tylosaurus fossils have been found in various parts of the United States, including Texas, Kansas, South Dakota, and other states. It is believed that it preferred coastal waters and estuaries, where a large number of prey were available.
Tylosaurus is believed to have been an active and fast predator that actively hunted its prey. Its anatomy adapted for marine life indicated that it was an agile and powerful swimmer. It mainly ate fish and other marine animals, such as squid and other smaller marine reptiles.
Tylosaurus used its speed and agility to catch its prey. It moved quickly in the water, using its body and tail to generate powerful propulsion and capture its prey with its jaws filled with sharp teeth. It is believed that it had excellent vision underwater, which allowed it to spot its prey and hunt with precision.
Information about the reproduction of Tylosaurus is limited due to the fact that it is an extinct animal. It is believed that like other marine reptiles, Tylosaurus laid eggs. It is speculated that the females emerged from the water to deposit their eggs on beaches or suitable nesting areas, similar to what modern sea turtles do. Tylosaurus eggs hatched in the sand, and the hatchlings emerged and returned to the water shortly after hatching.
The Model Pose represents a Tylosaurus specimen swimming across the coral seabed.
Approximate measurements of the Tylosaurus:
- Scale 1:60 - 163 x 84 x 49 mm H
- Scale 1:35 - 278 x 144 x 84 mm H
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.
