Dinornis reconstruction (1:10)
Dinornis, reconstruction
Scale: 1:10
Fossil vertebrates in collections and museums are usually represented only by single bone finds, in rare cases by complete skeletons. Many attempts have been made to give the viewer a better idea of the appearance of fossil animals through reconstructions. However, most of them are not able to meet either the scientific or the artistic requirements.
Therefore, the well-known animal sculptor Josef Pallenberg (1882-1946) set himself the task of creating plastic reconstructions that really convey a vivid idea of prehistoric animals.
Since the works were carried out with the advisory support of renowned vertebrate paleontologists under the most careful observation of the animals' anatomical structure and living posture, the sculptures are among the best of their kind. Particularly impressive are groupings assembled from several individuals.
The size ratio of 1:10 is maintained throughout.
The casts are handmade and colored in our company.
Photos may therefore slightly differ in color from the delivered piece.
