CollectA Prehistoric Life Kronosaurus with Moveable Jaw Deluxe 1:40 Scale Figure #88775

CollectA's range of pre-historic sea-life is joined by a model of the giant Late Jurassic marine reptile Kronosaurus. Each of the Collect a deluxe models comes with a little plastic paleontologist know as "Sir Arthur Gauge". Sir Arthur comes complete with pickaxe and binoculars and provides scale for each model. This really allows the size of the Kronosaurus to be appreciated. Pliosaurs were a fearsome family of marine reptiles characterized by their massive heads, short necks, and relatively broad flippers (as opposed to their close cousins, the plesiosaurs, which had smaller heads, longer necks, and more streamlined torsos). Measuring 33 feet from snout to tail and weighing in the neighborhood of seven to 10 tons, Kronosaurus was on the upper end of the pliosaur size scale, rivaled only by the Liopleurodon. The Kronosaurus had a large head and a very short but muscular neck. Its head took up more than a fourth of its body length. Its remains were discovered in Australia and Columbia leading scientists to beleive that it could have been present all over the Indian and Atlantic oceans during the prime of its existence. Deluxe Kronosaurus measures 12.2" L x 2.4" H making this a relatively large model, but one that can still be held comfortably by the hands of a small child. Each prehistoric figure in the Collect A collection has been approved by archeologist Anthony Beeson, a well-respected expert in paleo imagery.
