CollectA Metriacanthosaurus CollectA model 88741 Product Dimensions: 15.2 x 5.2 x 7.5 cm Age: 3 years and up The Metriacanthosaurus was a medium-sized carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period. Unlike many of its more famous theropod relatives, which had either extremely long or very short spines on their back, the Metriacanthosaurus had spines of moderate length, which is reflected in its name. These spines may have supported a hump or sail-like structure on its back, although the exact purpose of this feature remains a mystery. Hand painted and highly detailed. Made of durable vinyl. Manufactured from a high quality, non-toxic PVC that passes the quality standards for the Australian/NZ toy industry as well as that of USA and Europe.
