Got Milk? Mesozoic Mammals

[stemturtle]

Mammals that lived during the time of the dinosaurs are rarely represented as toys.
Chad mentioned Yowies and Henkelotherium in the topic Walking with Dinosaurs 3D Toys.  Examples are illustrated below.


Mesozoic mammals
Alphadon has a length of about 3 inches (7.5 cm).


Henkelotherium (Yujin),
archaic therian, order Dryolestida, late Jurassic
There is also a variation climbing a tree instead of on a plaque.


Sterophodon (Yowie, Lost Kingdoms A)
monotreme with toothed bill, early Cretaceous


Alphadon (Vivid),
primitive marsupial in WWD 3D movie, late Cretaceous

Roselaar listed two more examples, which I do not own, on the unique species thread:

Kollikodon (Yowie, Lost Kingdoms B),
a monotreme nicknamed Hotcrossbunodon, early Cretaceous.

Eomaia (Lovejoy),
early Cretaceous, approximating the ancestor of placental mammals.
Unfortunately, this model is no longer available from Michael Lovejoy.

Are there any other Mesozoic mammal figures?

I'm hoping it's not true, but I do believe that is it.

The Henkelotherium there is made by Yujin as part of an NHK TV series. The tree-climbers were later gashapons released by Yujin; there are at least two colour variations as well.

You'd think Castorcauda, Repenomamus or Volaticotherium would at least get some attention (to say nothing of the really early ones).

Nice group of mesozoic mammals  .

SBell, if you believe that these are all of the Mesozoic mammals, then we probably did not miss any species. I value your opinion.

Jetoar, I admire how you seem to have a kind comment for everyone.  You help make the Forum a friendly place to visit.

If there are, they are probably Yowies. There is a Feves Ptilodus which is Palaeogene, bu it would stand in for any multituberculate.

There should be at least one placental, you'd think.

Jetoar's Repenomamus deserves a showing in this thread:



As does the other version of Yujin's Henkelotherium:

It's been a long time since anything could be added to this thread:


Koreasaltipes, an ichnotaxon from the lower Cretaceous of Korea. Made by Sonokong for the Dino Mecard line.

@stemturtle It is a pity that many species of prehistoric animals including dinosaurs are rarely represented in toy figures (PVC or vinyl) and even in resin (totally adult collection). Agree with you. The Mesozoic mammals are very poorly represented in toy figures and is not an exception unfortunately.

I know my comment is about six years late, but in regards to Yowies they only did Steropodon and Kollikodon, unless you want to count their generic dicynodont as a mammal.

At the time Yowies were made there were only four named genera of Mesozoic Australian mammal, the other two being Bishops and Ausktribosphenos. Their fossils are held in the collections of Melbourne Museum in Victoria, while Steropodon and Kollikodon are held by the Australian Museum (in New South Wales) which developed the line and associated exhibition. Those two also had the advantage of being more memorable: Steropodon being the first Mesozoic mammal found in Australia while Kollikodon has the 'Hotcrossbunodon' nickname.

I do wish we'd gotten the other mammals though, and a few more Victorian fossils; despite the significance of Dinosaur Cove and the concurrent popularity of WWD they didn't produce a Leallynasaura or a Koolasuchus (though we got Siderops and two hypsilophodontids so it's not all bad).

A thread is enriched by member participation. Thanks to Halichoeres, Shonisaurus, and Brontozaurus for your contributions.
News of a new species is especially valuable. I ordered a Koreasaltipes (Sonokong for Dino Mecard).
When it is delivered, I will post an updated group shot, including Kollikodon (Yowie).

@RobinGoodfellow, thanks for illustrating Eomaia on this thread.
It's a nice addition. Wish I could afford to buy it.

[Halichoeres]

The Eomaia is gorgeous. That Microraptor is just too big for my shelves, though. If I could buy it by itself...

Then again, it seems like a reasonable candidate for a PNSO mini down the line.

The Diorama is an Urzeitshop exclusive.
Maybe they could do a single Eomaia copy for you if requested (without Microraptor)... who knows..

Imagine if CollectA or Safari made a Mesozoic mammals tube...

We made a new tube and they will be finished in a short while
