Giganotosaurus Skull Profile Plaque Replica

Description

Giganotosaurus skull profile plaque replica measures 8.0 x 5.8 x 1.5 inches. The Giganotosaurus carolini plaque is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of original specimen. 1:10 scale. Made in USA.

The giant southern lizard lived as a massive meat-eating dinosaur in what is now Argentina. This apex predator roamed the land during the Late Cretaceous period, about 97 million years ago.

Scientists discovered a lower jaw bone, a single sharp tooth, and fossil footprints belonging to this beast.

Experts believe this animal ranks as one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs to ever walk the earth. Workers only found partial skeletons, estimating their exact body size remains quite difficult.

Different researchers came up with various size estimates based on how they chose to rebuild the missing pieces of the skeleton.

This giant beast ruled over its ancient home as the apex predator. It likely hunted and ate young, long-necked sauropod dinosaurs.
