The Unique Species Specimen Discussion Thread

[stemturtle]

I could be wrong, but I think the Yowies paper identifies it.

I checked the label to find that I had a spelling error.  It reads, "Straight-shelled cephalopod # 4."  No genus name is given.  Cameroceras is certainly a possibility.

If it is a Yowies Cephalopod, could it be anything else but the Cameroceras? Or does Yowies have more Cephalopods? Or is the Cameroceras ID not official and it's just speculated to be a Cameroceras?

[stemturtle]

Roselaar. I feel sympathy for your task of identification. Yowie did make another prehistoric cephalopod, the Imperial Ammonite, which is coiled, but I do not own it.  I do not know a reference that names the Yowie straight-shelled cephalopod as Cameroceras.  On the bright side, here is a photo of one of my favorite figures:

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Malcom does an Icarosaurus, see stemturtles thread on leaping lizards to see.

Malcolm is Mlodoch--it's his last name.

As for the rest of the long list there I'm only going to go past the ones I know more or less for sure):

Alioramus - CollectA
Alticamelus - Starlux, Nabisco
Einiosaurus - Dinosaur Train
Fukuiraptor - Lots of Japanese figures
Fukuisaurus - Same
Gastonia - COG Matchbox
Gryposaurus  - Angie on Shapeways
Huayangosaurus  - Dinotales
Microceratops (properly, Microceratus) - Bargain Shop
Moa - Lots of Yowies, Japanese mystery figures
Monolophosaurus - Dino Wars
Moropus - Several, Malcolm's being the best
Phytosaur - QRF
Propalaeotherium - Imaginext
Synthetoceras - Starlux, Chick Yuet
Thylacoleo - Yowies


As for the other list:

I've already mentioned a different Thescelosaurus
Nyctosaurus was done for the Go Diego toys
Seymouria is done lots--Raz00's Shapeways one being most notable.

Oh dear lord, more complications...

Thanks for the additions, everybody. I added the ones that were not immediately disputed, but I ignored those that were question marked, because I much prefer certainty before their final entry onto a list that is already much longer and much more work than I thought ti would be. I don't mind the work of course ( hey, I asked for it! , but I will try and keep it verifiable (hence my need  for pictures and company/artist names)). I'll update the list on page 1 in more detail tomorrow.

That's why I only listed out ones that I knew, for sure, would create doubles.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the little yellow Disney Alioramus 

[Roselaar]

Right, first post updated again. Sadly I couldn't find pics of many of the latest additions. :-/

How about Pyroraptor by HLBS?

Another new species! I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
What does HLBS stand for though?

Honourable Leads Boiler Suit company. Their figures are defunct now.

Cameroceras (Yowie LK)

This figure is labeled "strait-shelled cephalopod," Yowie Lost Kingdoms Series B # 4.  I do not know if Cameroceras is the correct identification.  The fossil is Endoceras, which might be a synonym.

I could be wrong, but I think the Yowies paper identifies it.

A nice little figure

I just visited the HLBS company website and they have a few figures dino available still.

I bought my pterosaur figures from them. Great quality & service.

Thanks for the link. Those figures look pretty good. What are they made of?
Why is Pyroraptor not among those? Is it no longer available?

From what I found here:
http://www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?topic=6411.0;wap2

the Pyroraptor is also the Velociraptor.

Updated the list with pics again. Those bloody Yowies are giving me a really hard time...
