I'm looking for a dinosaur skull for a diorama but have no idea which brands have skulls in thier products or which one's are the most accurate

Any recommendations please ? Thank you!

Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Safari Ltd. has dinosaur skulls in its "toob" line.
They are small sized and quite reasonably priced:

If you're searching for large, museum quality skulls (but relatively expensive), Favorite from Japan has a resin line (and also a line of miniature ones):

You can also find 3D printed dino-skulls on Shapeways.

Is there any dinosaur in particular you're looking for?

If not, then I second what CityRaptor and RobinGoodfellow have recommended.

I'm looking for triceratops or similar

I've made my own from clay but as you can see it isn't accurate

You can get Favorite's ceratopsian miniature skulls here:

I don't know what scale you're looking for, but I'd estimate the Triceratops is about 1:35 and the Styracosaurus is about 1:25 (I could be off by a bit)

Kaiyodo made skulls of Styracosaurus, Triceratops, and Anchiceratops, which range from about 1:25 to 1:40. They're long discontinued, but they can still be purchased for relatively cheap. For example, here's the Anchiceratops for $4.50 (although from a US site, so it might be pretty expensive after shipping):

Sometimes I draw pictures

If Protoceratops is still in the similar category then you can check out the Desert Environment Pack from Beasts of the Mesozoic. How big and how accurate the skull I don't know but looks cool in the pictures other forum members uploaded (and the whole pack too).

You can get that pack from EverythingDinosaur.
