Re: Eofauna Scientific Research - New for 2025

Awesome Columbian mammoth!! That's our state fossil here in Washington, and I helped my professor analyze a skeleton in grad school, so it's an absolute must buy! Haven't purchased any of their proboscideans yet, but I love my Eofauna Atlasaurus.

I've got my Atlasaurus yesterday. I knew Eofauna does great sculpts but i'm impressed by paint job with this one. Easily blend in pnso & haolonggood stuff.

do you have any pics with pnso figures

...vs PNSO Allosaurus. Maybe not on par with finest PNSO & Haolonggood but it has smaller scales than a bit older PNSO like Pachyrhinosaurus & Winter Wilson T.rex etc. and colors transition smooth enough. I think it's eye should be glossier and maybe a bit smoother transition between yellow and blue on it's head would make it even better.

It's priced 20.83 £ excluding shipping and taxes on Everythingdinosaur. I paid 7.90 £ for shipping. Total 28.73£ plus taxes. For 30 x 22 cm sauropod i thought it was a good deal.

Eofauna diplodocus however i heard not as good as painted as this. Also shipping cost a lot for me. It didn't make sense. I've got Eofauna T.rex i don't think it looks as smooth as Atlasaurus maybe because of the high contrast between colors.

I've been very tempted to get this atlasurus for a minute but something about it stops me from doing so, I feel like maybe there's not enough girth? But also I know Atla is just a weird shaped dino

[DefinitelyNOTDilo]

That Atlasaurus is near the top of my most wanted figures!

just remembered, its 1/40 isn't it

It says 1/40 scale, 15.5 meter animal on it's card. I put a tape measure from tip of it's nose through it's back to the tip of the tail. Result is around 41 cm. That would make 1/38 scale.

From what I've heard it can work anywhere from 1:40-1/35 depending on the estimates used

hmmm i supose it could work in my collection then, I would love to see how it looks paired with pnso's camara, lingwulong and HLGs mamenchi as those are the only sauropods I have in my collection

Hope this helps. Imo the Atlasaurus and Camarasaurus really compliment each other.

[Turkeysaurus]

That's HLG Camarasaurus but PNSO version is almost same size from side view.

As per as I know that in ankylosaurus the two outer toes in the front limb had no claws and are a bit of vestigial. As have been seen in the images in facebook I found that they are clawed too. How much is this correct? Although I know that no complete leg has been found in ankylosaurus. I have mistakenly given this same query here but anybody can answer this query in a separate page created under the name Eofauna Ankylosaurus too.

This paper describes three hooflike unguals on the hand of Pinacosaurus: https://doi.org/10.4202/app.2010.0055. It's pretty likely that Ankylosaurus had the same arrangement, although as you say I don't think a manus is preserved for Ankylosaurus in particular. And from what I can see that's what the EoFauna figure shows as well.

Actually,the Eofana Ankylosaurus shows hooflike nails on all five digits of the hands.
Here's a relavent quote from the paper you bring up that may be of interest:

"Hooflike unguals are present on the first three manual digits, the largest on the first digit, and the smallest on the third. A small, complete, disarticulated ungual was found associated with MPC 100/1337. This element matches well the distal articulation of the only other phalanx of the fifth digit. The proximal articular surface of this ungual is crescentic and forms an obtuse angle with the longitudinal axis of the flattened hooflike body of the ungual. The ungual therefore splays laterally from the central axis of the digit, which is an unlikely arrangement if it belonged to any of the digits other than the fifth."

There appears to be hooflike unguals on at least the first three digits of the hand of Pinacosaurus,with the fourth being still unknown but with the possibility of the fifth digit having a hooflike ungual too.I could be wrong,but this may explain Eofauna's inclusion of nails on all five digits of the related Ankylosaurus.

[zooms in on EoFauna Ankylosaurus feet] Well, I'll be goddamned, I believe you're right. Anyway, I trust them to know more about ankylosaur tootsies than I know. Today I learned.

[Joel1905]

Quite a prolific start to 2025 for Eofauna! Let's hope this is the start of more regular releases for them!

I'd be surprised if we didn't get a Paraceratherium and a Megatherium from them.

[thomasw100]

The three Eofauna figures are available for pre-oder now from several distributors like Dans Dinosaurs and Lana Time Shop.

https://stores.dansdinosaurs.com/ankylosaurus-by-eofauna/

https://stores.dansdinosaurs.com/american-mastodon-by-eofauna/

https://stores.dansdinosaurs.com/columbian-mammoth-by-eofauna/

Lana states that shipping would begin around 20 December 2024.

The Ankylosaurus will be 23 cm long, almost the same as the PNSO one (which is 23.8 cm)

[Joliezac]

I can't wait to get this figure! Ankylosaurus is one of my favorite dinosaurs. I think Eofauna did an amazing job.

[GnastyGnorc]

That Ankylosaurus is looking really nice. I like the roundness lol.  I wish the pictures weren't taken in such harsh light though. I will keep my eyes out for the reviews with it.
