That head.... it looks like the animal was just resting, you could pet it and feel its warmth and the strenght of its muscles beneath that armor. Wonderfully preserved and even if it is somewhat similar to Safari's Sauropelta or the Ankylosaurus/Euoplocephalus figures of other companies, I'd really like to see a well made figure of this,... maybe in its preserved pose?

I hope they come up with a good name for it.

'Vinzclorthosaurus' would be hilarious.

Absolutely majestic!  Hopefully, it'll be named soon.

That's an absolutely amazing fossil. Then there's Zuul. This is a great time for ankylosaurian paleontology.

That is amazing! I can't help but wonder about other such amazing fossils that were either lost to construction and demolition, or are yet to be found and may never be found. It's wonderful when they are found, though.  ;D
