Product Information

Create your own Gigantosaurus adventures with this complete figure set. A perfect set for any Gigantosaurus fan. The Giganotosaurus is one of the few creatures capable of taking down a Guardian such as the Broodmother by itself and as such much caution is needed when facing one.

In 2005, the paleontologist Cristiano Dal Sasso and colleagues described new skull material (a snout) of Spinosaurus (the original fossils of which were also destroyed during World War II), and concluded this dinosaur would have been 16 to 18m (52 to 59ft) long with a weight 7 to 9t (7.7 to 9.9 short tons), exceeding the maximum size of all other theropods. [18] In 2006, Coria and Currie described the large theropod Mapusaurus from Patagonia; it was closely related to Giganotosaurus and of approximately the same size. [19] In 2007, the paleontologists François Therrien and Donald M. Henderson found that Giganotosaurus would have approached 13m (43ft) in length and 13.8t (15.2 short tons) in weight, while Carcharodontosaurus would have approached 13.3m (44ft) in length and 15.1t (16.6 short tons) in weight (surpassing Tyrannosaurus), and estimated the Giganotosaurus holotype skull to have been 1.56m (5ft) long. They cautioned that these measurements depended on whether the incomplete skulls of these animals had been reconstructed correctly, and that more complete specimens were needed for more accurate estimates. They also found that Dal Sasso and colleagues' reconstruction of Spinosaurus was too large, and instead estimated it to have been 14.3m (47ft) long, weighing 20.9t (23.0 short tons), and possibly as low as 12.6m (41ft) in length and 12t (13 short tons) in weight. They concluded that these dinosaurs had reached the upper biomechanical size limit attainable by a strictly bipedal animal. [20] In 2010, the paleontologist Gregory S. Paul suggested that the skulls of carcharodontosaurs had been reconstructed as too long in general. [21] a b c d Calvo, J. O.; Coria, R. A. (1998).

In 1993, the amateur Argentine fossil hunter Rubén Darío Carolini [ es] discovered the tibia (lower leg bone) of a theropod dinosaur while driving a dune buggy in the badlands near Villa El Chocón, in the Neuquén province of Patagonia, Argentina. Specialists from the National University of Comahue were sent to excavate the specimen after being notified of the find. [3] [4] The discovery was announced by the paleontologists Rodolfo Coria and Leonardo Salgado at a Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in 1994, where science writer Don Lessem offered to fund the excavation, after having been impressed by a photo of the leg-bone. [3] [5] The partial skull was scattered over an area of about 10 m 2 (110 sq ft), and the postcranial skeleton was disarticulated. The specimen preserved almost 70% of the skeleton, and included most of the vertebral column, the pectoral and pelvic girdles, the femora, and the left tibia and fibula.

Estimates in absolute values like newtons were impossible. The bite force of Giganotosaurus was weaker than that of Tyrannosaurus, and the force decreased hindwards along the tooth row. The lower jaws were adapted for slicing bites, and it probably captured and manipulated prey with the front part of the jaws. These authors suggested that Giganotosaurus and other allosaurs may have been generalized predators that fed on a wide spectrum of prey smaller than themselves, such as juvenile sauropods. The ventral process (or "chin") of the lower jaw may have been an adaptation for resisting tensile stress when the powerful bite was delivered with the front of the jaws against the prey.

In 1995, this specimen was preliminarily described by Coria and Salgado, who made it the holotype of the new genus and species Giganotosaurus carolinii (parts of the skeleton were still encased in plaster at this time). The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek words gigas/ γίγας (meaning "giant"), notos/ νότος (meaning "austral/southern", in reference to its provenance) and -sauros/- σαύρος (meaning "lizard"). The specific name honors Carolini, the discoverer. [1] [7] The holotype skeleton is now housed in the Ernesto Bachmann Paleontological Museum (where it is catalogued as specimen MUCPv-Ch1) in Villa El Chocón, which was inaugurated in 1995 at the request of Carolini. The specimen is the main exhibition at the museum, and is placed on the sandy floor of a room devoted to the animal, along with tools used by paleontologists during the excavation. A mounted reconstruction of the skeleton is exhibited in an adjacent room. [4] [8]

Realistic Emulational Details?Our Animal figures are made by hand painted with high realistically detailed appearance. Their uniquely molded textures and richly painted details make the animals vivid. And all the animal figures stand up very well. Children would like to spend more time to observe and play with them. Spinos are effective for killing gigas because they can swim and they have a water buff. Also if you are near water, you can get the buff, lead the giga down there (unless it’s already down there) and use the buff to kill it. Make sure that the spinos are leveled in stamina, damage, health and possibly speed.
