Dracorex hogwartsia Skull In-Situ Replica
Item #: DRACO1
In 2006 a new species of Pachycephalosaur was named, it was called Dracorex hogwartsia after the fictional "Hogwarts Academy" of author J. K. Rowling. This new species looks like the Stygimoloch spinifer accept it lacks the dome! To the left is a picture of the Dracorex skull now on exhibit at the Children's Museum.
The skull we are featuring is a new one. It contains the lower jaws and predentary, not present in the type specimen. This specimen (CKP-STD06) was crushed, but is still a very exciting specimen. The entire skull was covered in a hard iron rich matrix that took hundreds of hours to prepare. With the popularity of the "Harry Potter" books, this is a great way to introduce another generation to dinosaurs and our earths history.
The replica comes in 3 sections, the main head section and the two horn cores, since they were not attached to the skull any more. All parts of the skull are cast in a plastic resin, making them extremely tough. They are painted to match the original patina of the fossil. The detail of the teeth come out great in the replica. The horn cores are similar, but the left horn core has 3 large horns coming out and the right has only one.
Dimensions: The main skull section is about 20" long. The horn cores measure about 8" long each.
Price : $650.00
