Introducing my personal collection of dinosaur & prehistoric creature goods.

About me
In 2003, I launched the dinosaur introduction site Dino-tail.com <www.dino-tail.com>.
In 2012, I opened this site Dino-tail.info Annex<www.dino-tail.info>to post my personal collection of dinosaur and prehistoric creature related goods.
Dinosaur research progresses rapidly, and the appearance of dinosaurs depicted in guidebooks and postcards from 30 years ago is completely different from today's.
I aim to introduce my collection on a site where you can feel the changes in dinosaur appearances.
At Dino-tail.info Annex, besides introducing figures, coins, postcards, fossils, and commemorative medals from dinosaur expos, I plan to post blogs as well.
My Collection
Tyrannosaurus
SideShow dinosauria series, a Tyrannosaurus figure with a limited production of 350 in 2010.
Styracosaurus
A $10 silver coin (Silver:.9999) issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2016. Mintage of 10,000. It depicts the ceratopsian Styracosaurus.
Edmontosaurus
A specimen preserving 12 teeth in 3 rows of Edmontosaurus annectens. A fossil clearly showing the dental battery structure unique to ornithopod hadrosaurs.
Hoplolichoides
A finely prepped Hoplolichoides conicotuberculatus. Hoplolichoides has one of the most unusual shapes among Russian trilobites.
Allosaurus
A 3D papercraft by Hasamic World. The entire skeleton of an Allosaurus is carved into a length of about 10cm. The characteristic bumps above the Allosaurus's eyes are also finely reproduced. A work of art.
Iguanodon
A figure reproducing the appearance of Iguanodon as it was first reconstructed in 1825. It differs greatly from the current reconstruction. The sharp digit, now considered the first digit of the forelimb, was initially thought to be a horn on its nose in the first reconstruction. Sculpted in 1/35 scale.
Triceratops
A limited edition ZIPPO lighter featuring a Triceratops. Dinosaurs Series. Silver 10-micron finish, with a serial number. Came with a leather key holder.
Spinosaurus
Spinosaurus Hunting Favorite Desktop Model. A figure reproducing a scene of a Spinosaurus holding a fish. It was sold in 2008 but seems to be no longer in production.

A 25-cent cupronickel coin depicting the giant aquatic predator Tylosaurus pembinensis. Using photoluminescence technology, the fossil skeleton glows in the dark. Mintage of 30,000.
