The new for 2022 PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus model. Dinosaur fan and model collector William has provided a review of this recently introduced figure.

PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus magnus “Lu Xiong”

The new for 2022 PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus dinosaur model is release number 58 in the PNSO prehistoric animal model range. The head is a fabulous sculpt of a classical Tyrannosaurinae skull. The skull is powerful and robust ideal to attack prey and with jaws capable of crushing bone. The PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus is depicted as an apex predator. The lacrimal horn is of the same superb standard as seen on other PNSO theropod models. William also praises the detailing associated with the mandibular fenestrae.

PNSO Lu Xiong the Zhuchengtyrannus has an articulated lower jaw.

William points out that this figure has an articulated jaw and carefully sculpted teeth and praises the ear vents, commenting that this top predator had sensitive hearing capable of picking up the subtle rumble of low frequencies.

Forelimbs, Legs and Skin Tone

The reviewer states that the now familiar but carefully crafted PNSO shoulders, arms and two fingered hands of this figure are on a par with other PNSO carnivorous dinosaurs. The limbs are particularly robust and show some wonderful detail. The left foot is slightly raised giving the impression of slow but deliberate movement.

William compliments the design team at PNSO for the care and attention they have taken over the skin texture and scales.

He comments:

“From every fold and wrinkle and right down to his bull neck and well hefted bulk of the ribcage we have a Zhuchengtyrannus magnus in his full power of his youth and prime in perfect condition. For those with an extra eye for detail we have the perfect cloaca.”

The Colouration of the Model

William describes the colouration of the PNSO figure explaining that the skin tone moves from a beige cream to a yellow beige with an olive-green wash running from behind the eyes down the neck and shoulders across the thighs and towards the rear of the model. He points out that dark brown and tan stripes can be observed running the length of the tail. The anterior portion of the muzzle has black scales. The eyes are painted yellow with black pupils and the lacrimal crests are tinged with a hint of orange that “bring Lu Xiong to life”.

William also comments that the PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus is supplied with a clear plastic support stand, a full-colour booklet and a stunning poster showing the three recently proposed species of Tyrannosaurus (T. imperator, T. regina and Tyrannosaurus rex).

The new for 2022 PNSO Lu Xiong the Zhuchengtyrannus dinosaur model is supplied with colour posters, a 64-page information booklet and the packaging has a QR code that links to a short video that explains how the figure was developed.

William Provides Scientific Details

William provides model measurements and some details outlining the discovery of this iconic Asian tyrannosaur.

Scale: 1:32-1:38 (Campanian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous)
Length: 12 & 1/4 inches.
Height: 4 & 1/2 inches.

In 2011 the holotype was found in Shandong province of eastern China. A nearly perfect right maxilla with left dentary and teeth.

William concludes his Zhuchengtyrannus review by stating that this model lives up to its specific name “great”.

He adds:

“Remember this, some of us have waited a long time to own a Tyrannosaurinae model. Now is your chance, given to us all by PNSO. Additionally, he will pair to perfection with the previous three PNSO Tyrannosaurinae models.”

William Praises Everything Dinosaur

The reviewer praised Everything Dinosaur for supplying the model commenting that his faith and respect for Everything Dinosaur has never wavered from his first purchase many years ago to his latest acquisition “Lu Xiong”.

William stated:

“In truth why I hold them in such high esteem is that the entire Everything Dinosaur company loves and care for what they do equally as they care for every customer from visiting schools to safety testing their products and creating an information sheet for every model they stock to maintaining an up to date homepage and blog and the full spread of their media accounts are fresh and informative…..They are “Everything Dinosaur.”

Our thanks to William for providing us with his PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus model review.

Rebor Saurophaganax “Jungle” Video Showcase

By |2022-10-23T16:49:40+01:00April 8th, 2022|Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has posted up onto its YouTube channel the second video in the trilogy showcasing the Rebor Saurophaganax maximus Notorious Big 1:35 scale dinosaur models. The second video features the “Jungle” colour scheme. The short YouTube video highlighting the Rebor Saurophaganax in the “Badlands” colour scheme was posted up a few days ago, the final video in this series, showcasing the stunning “Volcanic Cavern” figure will be posted shortly.

The Rebor Saurophaganax maximus Notorious Big in the “Jungle” colour variant is given its own short video showcase by Everything Dinosaur team members.

The “Jungle” Colour Variant

Saurophaganax fossil material is exceptionally rare, much rarer than its contemporaries such as Allosaurus fragilis or Ceratosaurus nasicornis. Although numerous theropods are associated with the the Brushy Basin Member, which is the youngest part of the Morrison Formation, only a handful of fragmentary fossils have been ascribed to S. maximus.

Careful and systematic study of the sedimentary characteristics of the Brushy Basin Member (Tanner et al, 2014), contradict the original conclusion that these sediments were laid down in a very wet environment with extensive lakes and marshes. The palaeoclimate suggests strong seasonal variations with semi-arid periods caused by reduced rainfall (weaker monsoons) interspersed with much wetter, sub-humid periods that resulted from much stronger monsoons. A green-coloured predator would have been camouflaged well against the background vegetation. Of all the three colour variants offered by Rebor – “Badlands, “Jungle” and “Volcanic Cavern”, arguably “Jungle” would provide the best camouflage for the predator.

Rebor Saurophaganax in the "jungle" colour scheme.
The colouration of the Rebor Saurophaganax model is predominately green with yellow countershading. Prominent stripes can be seen on the broad, deep tail. An analysis of the sediments of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation, from which Saurophaganax fossils have been excavated, suggests that this dinosaur lived in an environment that experienced strong seasonal changes.

Rebor Saurophaganax maximus “Jungle” Video Showcase

Everything Dinosaur’s Rebor Saurophaganax maximus “Jungle” video showcase starts by showing the dinosaur model on a revolving turntable, the model is held to provide a guide for size and the articulated jaw and arms are demonstrated.

Evidence of Triceratops Fighting Rivals

By |2023-07-04T19:49:43+01:00April 7th, 2022|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page, Photos/Pictures of Fossils|0 Comments

Scientists have analysed a hole in the fossil skull of a large Triceratops and concluded that the injury was caused by another Triceratops. This study suggests that Triceratops engaged in fights with other members of their species (intraspecific combat).

A specimen of Triceratops (T. horridus) referred to as Big John was discovered in 2014 in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (Montana, USA). There is a hole (fenestra), in the right squamosal. The neck shield is perforated and researchers from the University of Chieti-Pescara, the University of Bologna in collaboration with other research institutes conducted detailed tests on the fossilised bone surrounding this perforation.

Evidence of intraspecific combat in Triceratops.
The specimen of Triceratops horridus known as “big John” suggest that an injury to the neck frill was caused by intraspecific combat. Picture credit: Ferrara A., and Briano I.

Chemical Analysis

Extracranial fenestrae in ceratopsian neck frills had been interpreted as evidence of injuries that resulted from intraspecific combat. To evaluate this hypothesis the researchers conducted extensive tests on the fossil bone immediately surrounding the hole in the neck frill. Microscopy analysis revealed newly formed and healing bone, with histological signs typical of the bone remodelling phase associated with recovery from an injury. In addition, chemical analysis revealed typical signatures associated with bone re-growth and healing.

Triceratops Fighting

The picture (below) shows two Triceratops dinosaurs fighting. These are two models from the Eofauna Scientific Research model range. The models are called “Dominant” and “Cryptic”.

The Eofauna Scientific Research 1:35 scale Triceratops models do battle (Cryptic and Dominant). A newly published scientific paper suggests that the hole in the head shield of a Triceratops specimen from Montana known as Big John was caused by intraspecific combat.

The researchers conclude that histological and microanalytical analyses indicate that the squamosal fenestra of Big John is the result of a traumatic event, which might indeed have occurred during a fight with another Triceratops.

A Large Theropod Trackway from Spain

By |2023-07-06T07:36:23+01:00April 6th, 2022|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page, Palaeontological articles, Photos/Pictures of Fossils|0 Comments

Scientists have identified a trackway made by a large theropod dinosaur as it crossed shallow water, the tracks are exceptionally wide and reveal that this unfortunate predator probably had a dislocated toe.

Writing in the open access journal PLOS One, the researchers describe an exceptionally wide trackway (LH-Mg-10-16), made by a meat-eating dinosaur at a site at the Las Hoyas locality (La Huérguina Formation), in central Spain. The trackway consists of six prints (three left and three right prints) and has been interpreted as representing a large theropod dinosaur crossing shallow water, blanketed by a microbial mat.

Lower Cretaceous (Barremian Faunal Stage)

The famous Las Hoyas site has been dated to around 129-127 million years ago (Barremian faunal stage of the Early Cretaceous). Although the Las Hoyas locality has yielded many amazing vertebrate fossils (birds, amphibians, fish), dinosaur fossils are relatively rare. Stride length calculations indicate that the theropod that produced this trackway had a hip height of around two metres. This would suggest a total body length of approximately eight metres. As far as Everything Dinosaur team members are aware, the only large theropod described from fossils associated with Las Hoyas is Concavenator (C. corcovatus).

It is not possible to determine the genus from these tracks, although the prints indicate a theropod that was either bigger than Concavenator or an exceptionally large Concavenator specimen. The known foot bones of Concavenator would have created a print, approximately half the size of the LH-Mg-10-16 tracks. This suggests that there may have been a much larger, as yet undescribed, theropod present in the Las Hoyas ecosystem.

Theropod Dinosaur Crossing Water

Sedimentary analysis indicate that the trackway was produced as the dinosaur traversed a microbial mat located on the bed of a watercourse. Marks on the surface of the substrate have been diagnosed as swimming traces of fish. The ichnospecies Undichna unisulca has been proposed, an ichnotaxon associated with the Las Hoyas site. The research team postulate that the trails were made by a type of deep-bodied bony fish (pycnodontiform), although body fossils of these fish are not common at Las Hoyas.

A Damaged Left Foot

Detailed analysis of the trackway suggests that the “wide-steps” of the theropod are not unusual compared to other bipedal dinosaur tracks, but they do confirm that these trace fossils were made by a single individual animal.

The right footprints are more regular in shape compared to those made by the left foot. On the left foot the limited impressions made by digit II suggest that either this toe is missing or it is dislocated in some way. Birds suffer from “crooked toes”, a condition caused due to environmental factors, dietary deficits or genetics. In theropod dinosaurs it is often digit II that shows pathology including damage to the bones.

The right footprints are more regular in shape whilst analysis of the left footprints suggest that this dinosaur had an injured foot. The scientists propose that digit II of the left foot was either missing or dislocated. Picture credit: Herrera-Castillo et al.

Evidence of a Deformity or Injury

The research team concludes that despite a suspected toe injury/deformity the tracks reveal no signs of a limp. These remarkable trace fossils have captured a moment in time during the Early Cretaceous when a large, meat-eating dinosaur with a body length in excess of eight metres crossed a pool of water that was teaming with fish.

Bradford University Receives £3 million in Research Grant to Boost Digital Capability

By |2022-10-23T16:51:06+01:00April 5th, 2022|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Main Page|0 Comments

The University of Bradford has received an archaeology grant worth £3 million to boost digital research capacity. At a time when grants and financial support for UK universities is under a great deal of pressure, the grant award will help to secure the status of future research projects including the ongoing study of Stone Age communities on the submerged Doggerland in the North Sea.

A Substantial Digital Heritage Collection

Bradford University has a substantial digital heritage collection, including human skeletal remains, world heritage landscapes and marine environments. The University, based in West Yorkshire, has become a centre for researchers worldwide. Unfortunately, over time the analysis of and access to this collection has become limited by the technical infrastructure.

An upgrade of the University’s technological capabilities will allow staff to digitise much more of its biological collections and to place these more easily within real-world or reconstructed digital environments, providing a rich virtual environment for other academics, researchers and educators.

Capability for Human Bioarchaeology and Digital Collections

The project entitled Capability for Human Bioarchaeology and Digital Collections will upgrade both the University’s biochemical analysis facilities and its ability to document objects and sites using three-dimensional models. By upgrading its X-ray capabilities to a dedicated CT (computerised tomography) and micro-CT facility the University will be able to capture information in the finest detail with minimal handling of fragile specimens, improving its world-class capability for imaging in human bioarchaeology research.

A Pioneer of Digital Data

Scientists at Bradford University have pioneered the development of digitised data online through its Digitised Diseases project, where researchers access images of bone modifications that resulted from a range of diseases.

Digitised Diseases shares data on human skeletal remains through the Biological Anthropology Research Centre (BARC). BARC, a centre for international research in this field, specialises in the analysis of modern and ancient human skeletal remains, a fragile and limited resource.

Bradford University is also a leader in techniques to gather data from archaeological sites, working with past heritage landscapes, the historic environment, and the contemporary environment.

Commenting on the significance of the £3 million funding, Head of the University’s School of Archaeological and Forensic Sciences, Dr Cathy Batt stated:

“By increasing the data available from the human remains collection and combining it with environmental and site data in our collections a rich digital discoverable and searchable research environment will be created. This specifically allows capacity to place our biological collections within real-world or reconstructed digital environments, providing a valuable virtual environment for researchers and educators.”
