Fossil Props: Age of Dinosaurs
 This topic has been pinned, so it's probably important

Future Updates
Here I will post previews of future updates for this prop pack.

Most of the props are based directly on scans of real fossils. As more fossil scans become available online I might add those to the pack.
I also make my own digital fossil reconstructions. Many of which take years to research and months to make. But as I make more reconstructions, I can then also add those in the future.
Above all I strive for accuracy. If it's not accurate I will not add it.

Stay tuned...

Another addition for the upcoming update. I think I may try to add a few more things. But not much more. So it'll be a reasonably small update.

Partially prepared Camarasaurus vertebrae from the Morrison formation, Utah, USA.

Last one for now. My own sculpted skull of Corythosaurus casuarius. Painstakingly reconstructed from reference photos over many months.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2960709691

And here are all the new fossils coming for the update.

Edit:
It's out!

Can we expect full skeletons?
Lord Trilobite  [developer] 10 May, 2023 @ 5:07pm 
The full skeleton of Coelophysis on a slab was in the update.

For future updates, I have a scan of a T. rex skeleton lying around. But it's not fantastic and has problems. I'd need to fix it first to be able to add it.

For other skeletons. Yes I plan to model a full skeleton of at least one hadrosaur. But making that takes a lot of time to get right. It has to be accurate. So that takes many months to make a single skeleton.

Alright, I'm working on another update for this pack. So far, mostly smaller fossils. But there's more to come.

Medium sized Reineckeia anceps ammonite from Morocco.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2993221223

Therizinosaurus claws from Mongolia
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2993221240

Podokessaurus skeleton from Massachusetts, USA
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2998169514

Dinosaur track from Queensland, Australia

Xenoposeidon vertebra from England
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2999260091
Lord Trilobite  [developer] 6 Jul, 2023 @ 2:06am 
Added another dinosaur track from the same area as the previous one.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2999775655


And, one of the most important fossils ever found. The Berlin Archaeopteryx specimen. Even in this scan of a cast of the original, you can still see the beautiful feather impressions.

Added yet more fossils for the upcoming update.

A small horseshoe crab from the same age and location as Archaeopteryx
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3000587027

A bunch of Cretaceous ammonites
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3000587003

The almost complete skeleton of a baby sauropod from the Morrison formation. It's still unknown which species it is exactly. But it seems most likely to be a baby Brachiosaurus. Its nickname is Toni.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3002900193

A huge set of footprints of sauropods from a cave in France.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3000216325

The half prepared skull of a Prognathodon mosasaur from Morocco.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005341301

Triassic fern.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005341374

The humerus of a juvenile Brachylophosaurus from the Judith River formation, Montana.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3005341359

And finally a complete skeleton of the ichthyosaur, Stenopterygius. This animal was pregnant when it died. Its baby can still be seen inside the ribcage.

Another preview.

Maybe one of the coolest fossils ever found.
Mortal enemies, Protoceratops and Velociraptor, locked in combat for about 75 million years after a sand dune collapsed on them.

The raptor killing claw is embedded in the side of Protoceratops. And Protoceratops is biting down on the arm of Velociraptor.
The fossil is commonly known as the Fighting Dinosaurs.

A while back I sculpted the skull of a juvenile Triceratops (which I totally forgot to post here). Now I've scaled down the existing rest of the adult skeleton to match the juvenile skull. So now I have a full juvenile Triceratops skeleton.

Another preview. The lower jaw of the aquatic reptile Pliosaurus.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3049793906


And stay tuned. Over several months, I've been working on cleaning up the scan of a Stegosaurus skeleton. So I will hopefully be adding that soon as well.
Lord Trilobite  [developer] 20 Oct, 2023 @ 9:54am 
After being in the works for over 5 months, I can finally reveal the first parts of the next skeleton. Stegosaurus! The skeleton scan that was available was pretty good. But there are a lot of holes and missing data that I needed to fix. This took a looooooong time.

So here are the limb bones of the Stegosaurus skeleton. The rest of the skeleton is soon to come.
