torosaurusViolet4

Torosaurus with its big frill had the largest known head of any land animal. It was a sort of long-frilled Ceratopsians who lived in at the end of the Cretaceous period, 70 to 65 millon years ago. It might even be the same thing as best-known of the horned dinosaurs, the Triceratops. Recent research suggests that Torosaurus were not a distinct genus, but a mature form of Triceratops. Either way, this animal had one impressively large head. Skulls have been found which are 2.6 m or 8.5 feet long.

 

This is a handmade, block printed torosaurus in silver-white block printing ink on violet cotton, backed with a lovely print with black animal silhouettes on turquoise fabric. It is stuffed with hipoallergenic polyester stuffing and signed with the embroidered minouette name. He is 31 cm or 11.5 inches from snout to tail.
