Plateosaurus
Plateosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in
Europe
during the late Triassic period,
between about 222 and 218 million years ago.
Plateosaurus was about 20 to 33 feet (6 to 10 meters) long, and weighed something in the region of 0.7
tons. It appears to have been quite a common animal, and
fossils of Plateosaurus
have been found in a number of locations including in
France,
Germany,
Switzerland,
and Greenland.
In fact,
fossils of
Plateosaurus were even found in a rock core removed by oil-drillers from
deep under the North Sea!
Plateosaurus was one of the earliest dinosaurs to be scientifically described.
The first description of the animal was published in 1837 by
Hermann von Meyer, based on
fossils discovered
three years earlier by
Johann Friedrich Engelhardt at Heroldsberg (which is near
Nuremberg)
in Germany.

Details:Physical Description:- Size: 3.74 Inches by 10.43 Inches by 2.76 Inches
Features:- UNIQUE CREATURE: One of the most unique Theropod dinosaurs ever discovered, Carnotaurus had many features that make it unlike any other dinosaur, including its unusually deep skull topped with two short, spiky horns. This meat eater lived around 70 million years ago in what is now Argentina.
- IMPRESSIVE PRESERVATION: Carnotaurus is one of the few Theropods found with well preserved skin impressions that give us a better idea of how the dinosaur looked in life. At least part of its body was covered in raised knobby "scutes" that may have served to protect Carnotaurus as they engaged in combat with each other, perhaps to impress a mate.
- MADE WITH INDUSTRY-LEADING STANDARDS: Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages.
- REALISTIC APPEARANCE FOR MULTIPLE USES: Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it.
- PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: This figure measures nearly 11 inches long and is 4 inches tall. It's about as long as a standard American ruler. The Carnotaurus's body is a drab green with a dark brown reticulated pattern and a darker brown stripe along its back. Its head is orange and its feet are gray.
