For the Dinosaur models connoisseur and collector, you will find what you have been looking for at Dinosaur Model Toys.com. The creator of all the works featured on this site is not only a gifted sculptor, but actually works with dinosaur fossils as a paleontological reconstruction artist, fossil preparator, and field technician at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. His artwork is based on the latest scientific research, real fossil material, and years of hands on experience. This is why the work featured is regarded as some of the most scientifically accurate available to the public.

The new Dinosaur Galleries at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles will feature many of the artist's creations. Most notable is the baby Tyrannosaurus rex estimated to have been two years old when it died, for which nearly ninety percent of the skeleton will be recreated for this mount. This sculpted reconstruction will be featured with two real T-Rex specimens, one a six-year old, and the other the sub adult specimen named "Thomas" which Doyle Trankina helped collect, and prepare. Thomas is estimated to be about seventy percent complete, making it one of the top five most complete in the world. Our initial offering will be a series of cast resin models and limited edition bronze sculptures with both a highly detailed exterior view, and a rendition of the internal skeletal anatomy of an adolescent T-Rex similar to the Thomas find.

As element inside the Dinosaur Institute on the all natural foundation Museum of Los Angeles Doyle Trankina has attended many area excavations in Montana Utah, and Mojave. even although inside the area Doyle prospected, and assisted inside the assortment of many specimens, most notably Thomas the sub grownup Tyrannosaurus Rex that will most most likely be gracing the museums new Dinosaur Gallery in 2011. by method of his experiences using the museum with his confidential obsession with prehistoric lifestyle as well as the all natural world, Doyle has made many sculptures and illustrations for exhibition and publication. Doyle has an extensive checklist of sculptures to create over the subsequent two years. His hold out will phone for lots of observational review inside the museum's collection, and extensive extrapolation dependent inside the most latest research, and modern analogues like birds, and crocodiles.

After completing the preparation of Thomas, Doyle embarked on the half skeletal, half flesh reconstruction of an adolescent Tyrannosaurus Rex at 1;24th scale. The teeth have been surfaced to provide the exact thickness and semblance to in which the tinny serrations would have lined the countless teeth. because of the simple fact the location inside the serrations in simple fact alter inside the teeth as they proceed back again toward the throat, the ridge implies the proper place inside the serrations. The scales have been carved individually to be certain that the epidermis coloring wraps near to the type in a really realistic, and exact way. The detail and fidelity using the skeleton was achieved by prolonged review inside the anatomy from many current mounts, medical publications, and photos inside the some within one of the most effective Tyrannosaurus specimens.

Doyle is presently working on the skeletal reconstruction of the child Tyrannosaurus rex that will most most likely be mounted inside the brand new Dinosaur Galleries with Thomas and an intermediate specimen as an illustration of age progression. The real specimen is only identified from the skull fragment inside the snout of what is believed getting from the two-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex. There are no article cranial remains, and there are only a handful of good examples that are actually believed getting that of child dinosaurs. This challenge has just begun, and with Dr. Chiappe Doyle will most most likely be producing foundation in presenting the worlds only mounted child Tyrannosaurus rex specimen.

Fall of 2009 marked among the the best Paleontology information splashes, featuring N. America's smallest dinosaur, Fruitadens haagarorum. It is believed the fact that animal might have weighed as tiny as two pounds and measured only 28 inches in length. Fruitadens was found in Colorado inside the previous due 1970s in a really geological creation identified since the Morrison, a good offer more especially in an place named Fruita, for which the specimen was named after. almost 150 million yr old, the tiny Fruitadens would have shared its lifestyle with this type of titanic beasts as Brachiosaursus, and Allosaurus inside the previous due Jurassic.

Fruitadens belongs to some family people of earlier dinosaurs named heterodontosaurids, which write about countless fascinating features, one of that will be the teeth. Fruitadens like other heterodontisaurids have varied dentition, and inside the the front inside the mouth sits a canine like tooth inside the reduced jaw. The weird dentition of the animal implies that Fruitadens may are actually omnivorous, consuming crops and on the minimum insects if not tiny vertebrates. Doyle has made the preliminary and most exact illustrated and sculpted reconstructions of the animal. His hold out was featured on every top information source inside the world, and 5 inside the sculpted Fruitaden will most most likely be featured inside the brand new galleries in 2011. In his studio, Doyle is presently working on the ½ scale Fruitaden, that will most most likely be roughly 30cm prolonged .
this could most most likely be the only scaled sculpture inside the animal, as well as the preliminary and only for sale. The complete scale edition is not for profit and will only be witnessed on the Museum.

Doyle can be concurrently working on Mamenchisaurus, a prolonged neck dinosaur and element inside the branch of Sauriscian (lizard hipped dinosaurs) identified as Sauropods. The unusual skull was found in China and researchers supplied a cardstock getting a thorough explanation and several medical illustrations. Sauropod skulls are unusual because of the simple fact they are so frail in construction, have many tiny bones that usually disarticulated some time quickly after the animal dies, and therefore are not usually preserved in fossilization, or are so disarticulated and on this type of tiny pieces which they are almost not possible to find. since the potential customers of acquiring a casting inside the chinese language mamenchisaur skull proved as well difficult, Doyle was charged using the procedure of reconstructing the skull from two dimensional reference with one another with other dinosaurs like Camarasaurus for comparison, and also to obtain familiarirty with Sauropod skull anatomy.
