Spinosaurus Vertebra & Watercolour Illustration Box Frame Real Jurassic Dinosaur Fossil Museum Quality Interior Design Home Decor Ornament

This Spinosaurus Vertebra (112 million years old) has been displayed and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame, by our expert in house team and is accompanied by a beautiful watercolour reconstruction of this species. Informed by detailed knowledge and understanding of dinosaur anatomy, this watercolour design has been created by a published scientific illustrator and specially commissioned for our paleo collection. Spinosaurus is the largest of all known carnivorous animals, reaching lengths of over 15 metres - even larger than the infamous T-rex. They are thought to have hunted both terrestrial and aquatic prey, spending at least part of its life in the water. Comparable to large grizzly bears of today, these were generalised and opportunistic predators that could scavenge, hunt and fish. Its most distinctive feature is the large sail on its back, the function of which is still uncertain. Scientists have proposed several hypotheses including heat regulation, courtship displays or intimidation. The frame is made from satin-finished acrylic. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM acid-free card stock which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self-standing or mounted using the invisible wall hanging bracket. All of our specimens are responsibly sourced and handcrafted to order by one of our Curated team members in our Cheshire studio. The picture shown is an example of the quality that you can expect to receive. Please be aware that, as our products are 100% authentic and organic, they are subject to variation.
