Description
Eoraptor dinosaur skull replica measures 3.9 x 1.5 x 1.6 inches. Eoraptor lunensis skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of original specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
Eoraptor was a small, lightly built dinosaur from the Late Triassic. It lived about 231 million years ago in what is now Argentina. Scientists found several well-preserved skeletons of this early hunter. These fossils show that it had different types of teeth. Consequently, this suggests the animal ate both plants and meat.
The slender body grew to about three feet long and weighed 22 pounds. It featured a thin skull with a large nose opening. Like later dinosaurs, Eoraptor had a distinct kink in its upper jaws.
