The only replica of an armored fish available-great for teachers or paleo buffs who love and study our ancient world. The color is conjectural of course but the detail is the real deal.
An excellent addition to anyone's dino/paleo collection.

I got one of these beauties at the Dinosaur Store in Cocoa Beach, Florida (which will be opening its splendid new building later this year -- 2008 -- in case you are lucky enough to live in the area which I do not). Dunkleosteus was a huge, dramatically armored fish of the ancient seas, and if you have been to museums you may have seen him as a replica or a partial-fossil-model or in a mural. I especially like the related exhibit at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY -- you might like it too (and they had toy trilobites there). Or you may have seen him in one of those computer-simulated TV shows. It's a cool fish.

This is a nicely sized toy, big enough for some serious detail, and it has a ferocious open mouth. Whether you are a kid in need of a wicked beastie or an adult dino hobbyist, or something in between or beyond, you are likely to enjoy this fish!

Oh, and for the curious... My coelacanth is one of those small Japanese snap-together models (gashapon?), but very beautiful, and I got it from UDF on eBay but their store seems to be gone.

I have just purchased two of these models and I am very happy with them. I use them as a drawing model and decoration and it is awesome. It has a wonderfull paint job and when I compared the two one looked a little darker on some spots but thats ok because it has a realy cool metalic tint to make it look like a fish.

The only thing about it was in between their noses is a seam line was noticable but nothing wrong and and the pait can easaly chip.

Overal I think they are realy good
