Like its cousin the Stegosaurus, the Miragaia was an unusual plated dinosaur with a very long neck and a spectacular double row of spikes down its back. New for 2011, the paleontologists of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History have authenticated this addition to the Carnegie Dinosaurs Collectibles roster of scale model reproductions. The scale for this model is 1:30. This figure measures 9.25” L x 3.5” H and is intricately painted by hand with over 10 different steps. Both phthalate and lead free, it meets or exceeds all safety standards. Includes educational information in 5 languages. Appropriate for ages 3+.
