Dinosaur - 化石頭骨 - Psittacosaurus - 8.1 cm - 7.5 cm

A beautifully crafted parrot-beaked dragon skull fossil, meticulously detailed, with photographs of its pre-restoration state and extensive microscopic restoration. The flangous luster of the teeth is clearly visible; it is 120 million years old. Undamaged by grinding, all details are faithfully reproduced. No academically damaging repairs were made. The fossil retains the nasal horn, with remarkably fine details on the nerve and vascular foramina. The left mandible was removed from the back of the right mandible, revealing teeth in the process of replacement. The mandible is quite hard and unlikely to break, possibly indicating it was broken by predators. The beak of both the upper and lower jaws is preserved. Air transported. Due to tariffs, it could not be shipped to the United States.
