Patagorhynchus pascuali: The Ancient Platypus

myminifactory

One of the latest discoveries in the world of paleontology, Patagorhynchus pascuali lived in what is now Patagonia, southern Argentina, during the Late Cretaceous epoch, some 70 million years ago. The discovery of a Late Cretaceous monotreme from southern Argentina demonstrates that monotremes were present in circumpolar regions by the end of the Mesozoic, and that their distinctive anatomical features were probably present in these ancient forms as well. Model includes a Pre-supported version. The model is sized for 1:15 of the actual size. You can reduce or enlarge the model using the slicing software if you need a different size. Pre-supported model is oriented to minimize supports to the face and other high-detail parts. Care should be taken when removing the supports to avoid damaging the model.
