@Halichoeres they had a nice Triassic offering, but some (like Mastodontosaurus) were better looking than others.

It is indeed a classic. L @Leyster , still top-notch, a great exemplar of Forest Rogers' craft. Obviously I still have one, but back in the day had three at one point - two acquired from thrift shops. I offered these two on the DTF a long while back. Finally sold one but no taker for the other, which surprised me no end, I have to tell you.
