From the Imaginary Skeleton series, which imagines "life" from the ancient memory of "fossils," the third authentic skeleton model, "Mosasaurus," is now available!■ Approximately 350mm in total length. This is a fixed skeleton model capturing a moment, imagining the natural movement of the Mosasaurus based on the latest scientific theories.■ Dynamic posing that fuses science and aesthetic beauty, with details applied throughout the body. You can feel the "life" of the dinosaur as you assemble it.■ Faithfully reproduces the complex details of the skull, such as the sclerotic ring that protects the eyeballs from water pressure and the mandibular joint that makes it easier to swallow prey.■ Reproduces the special two rows of teeth on the upper jaw, indicating its close relationship to snakes.■ Reproduces the ribs and rib cage with a refined shape, which seem to have been meticulously designed to balance water pressure resistance and agile movement.■ Reproduces the details of the fin-like limbs, which have many joints and are specialized for supple paddling movements.■ A concave mold is engraved in the center of the vertebrae, where similar shapes continue, as a guide during assembly.■ The base faithfully reproduces marine life from the same era and region as the Mosasaurus, such as ammonites and rudists (a type of cup-shaped bivalve).■ Kyōichi Tomita, Reptile and Dinosaur Researcher
