Prehistoric Invertebrates

[Bokisaurus]

Well, it has been a while since I made a new thread here!
So, looking back, I had noticed that there is no specific thread for those lovely prehistoric invertebrates yet They are, after all, some of the most diverse animals and very fascinating group that kept some of our beloved marine reptiles company
Looking at my collection, there are not a whole lot of them around, so I wanted to see what other figures are out there. Share your collection, if you have any questions, ask. Some of these figures has been in my collection for a long time now, that some I don't even know who made them
So, lets see those lovely trilobites, ammonites and friends!
The group from ROM- still one of my favorite set!

A group of Trilobite from Malcolm ( Faunal Cast) that I got years ago - lovely set!

Safari Toob set

Bullyland and some Kaiyodo


And some mix collection

Cheers!

That's what I got:

My little Aegirocassis should be in this thread  .

Great pictures and collection.
I have a question for you: what species is it?  Polyptychoceras ? Who made that figure ? Thanks

I'm mostly guessing but the texture looks like a shapeways print to me.

It is indeed a Shapeways figure. The creator has made a lot of different ones since this one, which is  Heteroceras.

The whole range that is available can be seen here: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/erics_studio?section=Ammonites&s=0

Thank you.

Wow, surprising that there wasn't a thread for inverts before! That is a pretty major omission. The only one I have that hasn't been shown is this Haikouella, which almost doesn't count:

A pretty rare and pricely figure I guess. But... it is a vertebrate I think.

I love all this kind of figures. Does anyone have the miracle planet kimberella?

Well, chordate. Something like that.

And I do have the Kimberella:



And the Charniodiscus!

I don't have anything to contribute, but I just wanted to comment on how beautiful so many of these figures are. Quite the inspiring representations of these animals. So many illustrations of these creatures highlight how alien or almost monstrous they are, but many of these figures show that they are unique and beautiful animals. It's a real shame they get so little attention, as far as prehistoric creatures are concerned.

Well, it doesn't have a cranium or a proper backbone, so just baaaaarely not a vertebrate

Completely right. I complain about there not being enough fish figures, but invertebrates have it even worse.

It just makes it easier to collect them all! Look how fast someone can gather every eurypterid figure!

Speaking of which, thanks to Imaginext (in their c. 2000-2008 great time for dino accessories!)


And a small Imaginext trilobite and horseshoe crab (can't prove it's not a fossil species!)

I envy you

Yes mamasaurus, its a shame. But its all about money, I've never heard a child saying "Dad, buy me a trilobite". And I don't see a lot of people buying the Safari cambian toob.

I started collecting Kaiyodo Dinotales not for the dinosaurs, but for the paleozoic figures. I have a lot of trilobites, opabinias, ammonites, etc.

[stargatedalek]

I didn't know Imaginext made a horseshoe crab! I used to have nearly every one of those sets but I only kept the accessory creatures.

[Halichoeres]

I don't suppose anyone knows a reference site for the Imaginext accessory critters.

[SBell]

I don't suppose anyone knows a reference site for the Imaginext accessory critters.

They were pretty random. I have a couple Eohippus and a strange, early reptile (Araeoscelis? They don't come with labels). Some of the accessories were a little bigger; we had a giant sloth and Archaeopteryx.

Some of the modern sets were okay, too--I remember a cool moray that came with some sort of marine king set. But I've never seen a useful list.

It does remind me though--there should be at least a couple from Playmobil. I think we have a scorpion fly from the most recent prehistoric sets, for example.

[stargatedalek]

There was also a giant dragonfly (reused from a princess set though), as well as fossils of an ammonite, trilobite, and aforementioned dragonfly.

[Flaffy]

The aegirocassis is a very interesting and beautiful model 

[crankydinosaur]

The Imaginext Sea Scorpion (If I remember correctly from what Sean Bell told me a long time ago) is a Megalograptus! Does anyone know (or have pictures of) these "fossil" Imaginext creatures? I know in Imaginext there is also a nautilus and a really great looking brittle star.

Also don't forget Playmobil has some prehistoric invertebrates too!
