THIS MODEL WAS MADE BY JOHN LOCKE AND WAS BASED UPON A VERY LARGE, BUT INCOMPLETE TAIL-SHIELD, THE REST OF THE BODY BEING RESTORED TO PROPORTION BY COMPARISON WITH SMALLER BUT MORE COMPLETE INDIVIDUALS.

RECALCULATIONS FROM LOCKE'S ORIGINAL DATA SUGGESTS THAT THIS MODEL IS TOO LARGE, THE ACTUAL LENGTH OF THIS GIANT SPECIMEN BEING ONLY ABOUT 13 OR 14 INCHES.
