Chasmosaurus Model

Explore the Late Cretaceous with this highly detailed 1:35 scale Chasmosaurus model, bringing one of North America's most recognisable horned dinosaurs to life. Its large frill, prominent facial horns and powerful four-legged build make it an excellent example of the incredible diversity of ceratopsian dinosaurs.

The model has been carefully sculpted with realistic proportions, detailed skin texture and subtle muscle definition. Its broad frill, sturdy limbs, curved beak and three distinctive facial horns are captured with impressive attention to detail, creating a lifelike representation that makes the anatomy easy to appreciate.

Chasmosaurus lived approximately 76–72 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Canada. It reached around 4.8–5 metres in length, stood approximately 1.8–2 metres tall, and weighed an estimated 1.5–2 tonnes.

Its enormous frill was made from bone and extended behind the skull. Scientists believe the frill may have played a role in display, communication or species recognition, while the horns could have provided protection against predators. Chasmosaurus was a herbivore, using its strong beak to crop vegetation from the prehistoric landscape.

Why it's great for learning

• Realistic representation of a Late Cretaceous ceratopsian

• Demonstrates the distinctive skull, horns and frill of Chasmosaurus

• Provides an excellent introduction to dinosaur defence and social behaviour

• Helps explain how herbivorous dinosaurs were adapted to their environments

• Encourages interest in palaeontology, anatomy and prehistoric ecosystems

• Suitable for educational displays and imaginative play

Chasmosaurus lived alongside a remarkable range of dinosaurs, including Centrosaurus, Corythosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Gorgosaurus, providing plenty of opportunities to recreate a realistic Late Cretaceous ecosystem.

With its distinctive horns, enormous frill and carefully sculpted anatomy, this Chasmosaurus model offers a realistic and engaging way to learn about one of the most fascinating herbivores of the Late Cretaceous.
