Archaeopteryx Skull Pendant Archaeopteryx lithographica - Archaeopteryx is the first feathered dinosaur known to scientists, and it is viewed as a transitional fossil between dinosaurs and modern birds. Includes matching 24 inch chain. Wooden display base optional. Skull Dimensions: 13mm x 30mm x 13mm More about Fire & Bone jewelry: Each and every Fire & Bone skull jewelry piece began life as a real animal skull. Using cutting-edge 3D scanners they bring an exact copy of that skull into the digital realm. It is here that they scale the skull down to size before bringing it back into the physical world. Using a high-resolution 3D printer, a miniaturized version of the original skull is created in wax. From that wax, a mold is made and from that mold they are able to produce a perfect miniature replica of our original animal skull in White Bronze, Yellow Bronze, or Sterling Silver, using age-old lost wax casting techniques.
