Megalosaurus was the first genus of non-avian dinosaur to be validly named. In fact, Megalosaurus was one of the three genera of animals on which the Dinosauria was based. Originally believed to be a plodding, quadrupedal carnivore that inhabited swamplands. However, it is now known that theropod dinosaurs were agile, active animals that that inhabited a variety of environments. It was also believed that being a saurischian, Megalosaurus was closer in relation to modern lizards than crocodiles. It is now known that modern birds are saurischian dinosaurs that independently evolved the ornithischian hip configuration, which In non avian dinosaurs was an adaptation to processing vegetation by allowing a lengthening of the gut. It turns out that Megalosaurus is closely related to Torvosaurus within the megalosauroidea.
This large Theropod occupied Europe during the mid Jurassic, and was no doubt the apex predator of its time.
My cast replicas are created from natural fossils using an eco friendly plant based mold making material that is reusable. Made to order so items may differ from the image of the listing.
Items are hand painted where appropriate and sealed with a clear coat finish. This adds to the texture in addition to preserving the paint job, for example the shiny enamel of a megalodon tooth cast is achieved this way. However, it may be accompanied with a paint thinner like smell. I've only had this complained about once, but if this is the case please wash item with soap and water and allow to sit outside for the smell to subside.
If item is defective please let me know and we will make it right by issuing a refund or sending a replacement.
