Given how frequently Ceratosaurus shows up in pop culture, it is a little surprising that so few people can identify it. Certainly, one cannot fault it for lack of a catchy name, which makes it sound like a walking nightmare composed of dripping gore and massive steak knives.

Review: Ceratosaurus (Terra Series by Battat)
3.9 (11 votes)
The Battat dinosaurs’ triumphant return to mass-production means that figures once unobtainable for the average collector with bills to pay and no time machine are now easily had by anyone with so much as a few spare dollars. The Ceratosaurus is no exception.

And now for something completely different from all the scientifically sound and modern reconstructions of dinosaurs. I’ve tackled many different figures for this blog, but today marks the start of a series of reviews that will be very different.

Review: Ceratosaurus (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

Ceratosaurus is the other new Wild Safari theropod for 2012. Unlike Acrocanthosaurus, which is a brand new addition to the range, this Ceratosaurus replaces an older, now retired sculpt that was actually one of the best of the ‘old wave’ Wild Safari dinosaur toys.
Review: Ceratosaurus dentisulcatus (‘Savage’ by Rebor)

Review and photographs by joossa, edited by Plesiosauria.
Ceratosaurus dentisulcatus, or “Savage”, is the fourth 1/35 scale theropod model produced by Rebor, following after their Utahraptor or “Wind Hunter”. The animal represented by this model is the larger of the named and described Ceratosaurus species and is a welcomed addition to the Rebor line mostly due to the lack of other highly detailed Ceratosaurus models available.

Review: Cetiosaurus (CollectA)

When we think of sauropods, we usually think of giants like Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Patagotitan. The very first sauropod ever to be discovered, however, was Cetiosaurus. Described and named by Sir Richard Owen in 1842, it measured around 15 metres in length and 11 tons in mass.

Ask someone to name a sauropod, and “Apatosaurus” will often be the first species to come to mind. Consequently, this prototypical animal will often be the answer if you ask “What was the first sauropod ever discovered?” In fact, that title belongs to a relatively obscure creature known as Cetiosaurus.

Chialingosaurus kuani was a stegosaurian that lived 160 million years ago in China. It is one of the oldest species of stegosaurs known and would have resembled Kentrosaurus in appearance. You would be forgiven for having never heard of it, not many have.

Review by Rajvinder ‘IrritatorRaji’ Phull, photographs by Ceratopsian, edited by Suspsy
In 2004, the rib and vertebrae of an unknown dinosaur were discovered in Chile by a seven-year old by the name of Diego Suárez. However, little did Suárez know that he had kickstarted a fascinating chain of events that, in 13 years, would rock the world of palaeontology to its very core.

If you never have heard of Chuanjiesaurus you’re probably not alone. Remains of this sauropod were discovered in 1995 near the village of – you guess it – Chuanjie in the district of Lufeng (where the more popular Lufengosaurus comes from too), Yunnan Province, China.

Chungkingosaurus was a small, Late Jurassic stegosaurid measuring in at around 4 metres in length (although there are two other purported species at around 5 metres and +5 metres in length), making this figure approx 1:8 scale.

Review: Coelurus (Jurassic World, Dino-Rivals by Mattel)
3.8 (17 votes)
Described by O. C. Marsh in 1879, Ceolurus is known only from a single skeleton found within the Morrison formation. This benign little theropod dates back to the late Jurassic where it rubbed shoulders with the likes of Allosaurus, Stegososaurus, and Brachiosaurus.
