Carnegie Museum
Replica Collection
|
The world's premier line of
dinosaur collectibles. Not merely toys, but an educational series of
replicas that reveal details of the prehistoric world. All of the figures
were researched and authenticated by the experts at the Carnegie Museum of
Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Specimens were carefully selected to provide representations
of primary species. Special care has been taken to include ones with
unique characteristics - especially recent discoveries that that have
expanded our knowledge of these wonderful animals. They are great
learning tools. All replicas are the same 1:40 scale
(a foot long replica represents a forty foot dinosaur). This consistency
of scale permits comparing the size of the various species. the
selection encourages comparing other characteristics. The set is a
great learning tool. All of the replicas are quality molded of 70%
recycled polyvinyl, then carefully hand painted.

Dinosaurs are divided into two major groups - the
Saurischia "lizard
hipped" and the Ornithischia "bird-hipped." The Saurischia
are, in turn,
divided into two major groups - the Sauropods and the Theropods. We've
divided the collection in four parts |
