Ossatorum Aeterna is a company specializing in the creation of ultra-realistic replicas of dinosaur skeletons and other extinct or endangered animals. Item for Sale Whale Vertebra Replica This replica depicts a single vertebra from a whale, faithfully reproducing the massive and highly specialized structure characteristic of large cetaceans. The form highlights the robust centrum, expanded transverse processes, and complex articulating surfaces designed to support immense body weight and facilitate powerful swimming motions. Overall Dimensions • Length: 42 cm • Height: 50 cm • Depth: 21 cm • Weight: 520 g Discover a museum-quality, ultra-realistic Whale Vertebra replica, designed for collectors, educators, and institutions seeking scientific accuracy and striking anatomical presence. About the Whale Vertebra Whales are large marine mammals adapted for efficient swimming, deep diving, and long-distance travel. Their vertebral column is highly specialized to support a massive body, withstand tremendous hydrodynamic forces, and transmit muscular power from the tail to propel the animal. This vertebra reflects these adaptations: a broad and robust centrum, strong articulating facets for intervertebral stability, and pronounced transverse processes for muscle attachment. The sheer scale and intricate morphology of the vertebra illustrate the biomechanical sophistication of cetacean anatomy — carefully captured in this replica. Key Features – Superior Craftsmanship Weight and Stability Solidly constructed and securely mounted, the vertebra ensures stable and safe display while maintaining the integrity of its massive proportions. Hyper-Realistic Finish Each piece undergoes a meticulous multi-step artisanal process. Subtle tonal variations enhance surface textures, articulating facets, and bone morphology, producing a true museum-quality presentation. Exceptional Detail Centrum, transverse processes, neural arch, and articulation surfaces are reproduced with high fidelity, accurately reflecting authentic cetacean osteology. Material Polymer with Ossatorum's developped mineral coating. Scientific Accuracy Based on anatomical and osteological references shared from the Edna Lawrence Nature Lab at Rhode Island School of Design. This replica is reproduced at true 1:1 scale, ensuring faithful proportions and precise morphological detail for educational and display purposes.
