Ceratosaurus
This ceratosaurus model is a unique creation by a relatively little known paleo-artist. The core of the sculpture is foam carved to the approximate shape and dimensions of the creature. The foam is then covered with an epoxy formula that can be carved and textured. The artist used advice from university specialists to refine the skin surface and colors based on the best speculation of dinosaur paleontologists. The result is scientifically accurate, but also very light for transport and positioning. Measures approximately 15 feet 6 inches long.
