Collecta Prehistoric Life Pliosaurus Deluxe 1:40 Scale Marine Reptile - Paleontologist Approved Model FUN FACT: Pliosaurus cruised using just two fore-flippers, using the back pair for extra speed when pursuing and capturing prey. Pliosaurus was approximately 40 feet long and weighed around 30 tons. PALEONTOLOGIST APPROVED: Working with experts from across the globe, Collecta hand-painted figurines are all factually accurate and paleontologist-approved, so little ones get to learn while they play. AUTHENTICITY: Each prehistoric sculpture has been approved by Anthony Beeson, a well respected expert in palaeoimagery who is also an art librarian, archaeologist and collector, based in the city of Bristol, England. DELUXE 1:40 SCALE: Each of the Collecta Deluxe models comes with a little plastic palaeontologist 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 Pliosaurus to be appreciated. PRODUCT SPECS: Deluxe Pilosaurus measures 14.1" L x 2.7" H making this a relatively large model, but one that can still be held comfortably by the hands of a small child.
