Carnegie Collection Kronosaurus Model Back in Stock

After a short delay the large Kronosaurus model manufactured by Safari of the United States is back in stock.  This model of a short-necked plesiosaur (called a pliosaur) is part of the Carnegie Collectibles model range.  Meticulously painted all the models in this range are approved by the palaeontologists at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, one of he four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh (USA).

Kronosaurus Model

The Kronosaurus (Kronosaurus queenslandicus) is one of the largest models made by Safari, it measures over thirty centimetres long, a scale model of a marine reptile that may have reached lengths in excess of ten metres. The huge jaws of Kronosaurus measured over 2.5 metres in length.  This animal was a formidable predator, probably the apex predator of the Early Cretaceous.
