Dinosaur Models

Photo: Crowd of dinosaur models
Awaiting renovations, dinosaur models of differing scales crowd a warehouse at Dinamation headquarters in Irvine, California. Some of these specimens would have seen their heyday during the Cretaceous period, including the familiar Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, the Parasaurolophus (front right), and the flying pterosaur (top left). Others, like the stegosaurids (front center), were already extinct when the Cretaceous began.
