Prehistoric Planet Store - Replica fossils including dinosaurs like T. rex, Triceratops, and more!

Constructed from polyresin and standing atop a removable solid wood base, this extremely realistic Allosaurus finished dinosaur model looks simply amazing. Sculpted by paleoartist Shane Foulkes, this highly detailed and hand-painted dinosaur model has a very natural and life-like appearance. A solid brass plaque engraved with the Allosaurus name accents the elegant red-mahogany-finished base.

Allosaurus (al-oh-sore-us) meaning "Different Lizard," lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 156-144 million years ago. It was named because of its unusual vertebrae, which are much lighter than those of other dinosaurs. Walking on two legs, Allosaurus was 30 to 40 feet in length, up to 16 ½ feet tall, and weighed as much as 4 tons. Although its head and body wasn’t as large as the T.rex, this earlier ancestor was a top predator of its time. With its sharp serrated teeth, Allosaurus fed on Stegosaurus and other large plant-eating dinosaurs. Found mostly in North America, as well as in Europe, Tanzania, Africa, and Australia.
