Steneosaurus Bellensis on Slab
Size: 57 x 23 in / 150 x 58 cm
Cost: $700
(+ shipping)
Age: Early Jurassic
Note:
Steneosaurus was a rather modern-looking crocodile. Later Jurassic forms
reached up to four meters (13 feet) in length. It had a long narrow snout,
similar to modern Garials from Southeast Asia, and long slender teeth,
undoubtedly for eating fish. Our replica is an excellent dorsal view of a nearly
complete specimen.

Plioplatecarpus Mounted Skeleton
Size: 18 ft / 5.5 m long
Cost: $30000
(+ shipping)
Age: Cretaceous
Note:
Plioplatecarpus was a very close relative to the living monitor lizard.
It is a marine animal which lived in the Western Interior Pierre Seaway.
Its bites have been attributed to corresponding holes in ammonites, such as
Placenticeras. It undoubtedly ate other ammonites as well, including Baculites,
Scaphites, and Pachydiscidae. and fed on fish and other reptiles it could catch
in the ocean. It was most likely a very powerful swimmer, which propelled
itself by means of its tail - not its flippers. It has been found hundreds of
miles from known shorelines. Contemporaries of this mososaur are other reptiles,
including Elasmosaurus, Archelon, Toxochelys, and Pteranodon, and the bird,
Hesperornis. The original skeleton is now on display at the Houston Museum of
Natural Sciences, Houston, Texas. Our Plioplatecarpus replica can be mounted
in any number of poses... swimming, diving, or porpoising
(jumping out of the water). It can be hung from cables or
supported from the floor. It is modular, with
easy-to-assemble sections.
