Protostega Gigas Skull
Size: 480 x 270 x 240 mm /19.0 x 10.6 x 9.4 in
Cost: $600
(+ shipping)
Note:
Like their descendents today, these ancient turtles could not
retract their bodies into their shells. How did they defend
themselves from predators? They used their huge front legs for
a quick and powerful undersea getaway! Its shell is 3 feet, 11
inches (1.17m) long. Its strong, flipper-like limbs suggest
that it was a powerful swimmer. The large openings you see in
the shell made it possible for the turtle to be very large
without extra weight and the shell probably had a leathery
covering.

Archelon Ischyros Mounted Skeleton
Age: Cretaceous
Size: 17 ft. accross
Cost: $65000
(+ shipping)
Note:
Archelon (a giant sea turtle) lived during the Late-Cretaceous Period, sharing its watery
domain with ammonites, mosasaurs, huge fishes, and other extinct marine animals. The live
weight of this Archelon was estimated to be more than 4500 pounds! Our giant Archelon
replica is molded from the largest and most complete original specimen ever discovered. It
was found on the east side of the Black Hills of South Dakota, and is now on display at
the National Natural History Museum in Vienna, Austria. (This original specimen is much
more complete and better preserved than the type specimen used to define the species.) Our
replica measures nearly 17' across from flipper to flipper. The
carapace (shell) is nearly
the size of a Volkswagen Beetle! We mount our replica skeleton in a steep diving pose on a
single steel support post, or it can hang from 3 cables. A more horizontal swimming pose
is also an option. It is an absolutely perfect emissary to greet the guests at any marine
museum or large aquarium, or would be equally exciting in a mix of other species in any
museum anywhere. Want a spectacular draw for your shopping center or amusement park? Our
archelon and your customers will get along swimmingly!

Plesiosaurus Dolichodeirus Mounted Skeleton
Age: Eocene
Size: 9 ft / 2.75 m
Cost: $28000
(+ shipping)
Note:
Plesiosaurs were marine reptiles which spent much of their
time in the open seas. They swam by use of oar-like paddles
and powerful tails. They appeared in the Triassic seas of
Europe, and later spread worldwide. During the Cretaceous,
some species became very large. Plesiosaurs' diet consisted
of cephalopods, fish, and other reptiles. They apparently
swam near the surface and captured their prey with quick
thrusts of the head.
