Plastic Stegosaurus Skeleton Model Back Again!

Not quite extinct!

Our Stegosaurus Skeleton Model

This realistic-looking stegosaurus skeleton model is made of strong plastic and is sturdy when assembled. It is 9 1/4 inches long and 4 inches tall. There are about 10 separate pieces, some large, with easy to follow assembly instructions and a diagram. The bones look weathered and connect with one another through pegs or joint sockets. Although most pieces hold together well, it may help to use a little super glue. This miniature stegosaurus skeleton replica makes a nice display, a gift, or toy for children or adults and could work well for school show-and-tell or as a school science project.

About Stegosaurus

"Stegosaurus" meaning roof lizard, is an armour-plated dinosaur from the late Jurassic Period characterized by large spikes along its back. It was an herbivore that used its spikes for protection against predators. Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily arched back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. It was thirty feet long and fourteen feet tall. Many skeletal remains have been found in Wyoming.

Plastic Triceratops

This triceratops is the perfect addition to any dinosaur collection!

This is one of the resin (plastic) dinosaurs made by Safari Ltd as part of its Carnegie Collection. The collection is so named because these lifelike replicas were researched and authenticated by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Carnegie Museum ranks among the largest natural history museums in the world, containing approximately 16 million specimens.

Use this museum-quality animal replica for dioramas, school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, home decor, and more. Made of solid plastic or resin, the dinosaur's tail and horns are slightly flexible, although not posable. Although we don't know what color any dinosaur species really was, the color choices are attractive and fun. The blue accents are a bit brighter than you see here (more like on the nose) and the body is "elephant gray." Its name ("Triceratops") is cast on the bottom.

Each plastic dinosaur comes with a small informational tag in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Suggested for ages three and older.
