Description
PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS WYOMINGENSIS,
Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian, in the west of present-day North America,
A large museum-quality resin cast of the skull with mandible, depicting the greatly thickened fronto-parietal vault, forming a bony dome characteristic of the species. Faithful reproduction of the anatomical structures, particularly the peripheral nodules and the bone texture. This hyperdeveloped parietal bone may have served both as protection against attack and for social purposes.
L: 55 cm
