Description
Gorgonopsial skull plaque replica measures 8.2 x 5.4 x 2.8 inches. The Viatkagorgon ivakhnenkol plaque is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of original specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
Fossil experts found the extinct Gorgonopsial inside of Russia. This creature belongs to a major group of ancient mammal-like reptiles. A special trait of this animal involves canine teeth that look like saber-toothed cat fangs.
Long, narrow skulls define these ancient predators. Sharp upper canine teeth and thick front incisors served as weapons during hunts.
Tiny back teeth mostly disappeared. Hunters used a quick bite-and-retreat tactic to bring down large prey. Animals ambushed a target, delivered a deep wound, and followed from a safe distance until exhaustion set in.

Gotcha, the Gorgonopsial skull plaque replica, hangs flat against the main hallway wall. She flashes her massive, saber-toothed canine fangs at everyone walking past her.
Adam, the Anomodontain skeleton plaque replica, rests safely on the opposite wood panel. Keeping keen eye on Gotcha.
Aerosmith, the Aerosaurus therapsida skeleton plaque replica, takes up a huge section of wall space in the center. He is very comfortable hanging there by himself.
Slobber, the Sabertooth cat skull plaque replica, stares right back at Gotcha to see which prehistoric beast carries the longest stabbing teeth.
