Dinosaur Apatosaurus Figurine Made with Alabaster New with Box RETIRED by Castagna BRAND NEW - MINT CONDITION w/BOX Box is damaged because of storage. LAST ONE Castagna Prehistoric Collection very Hard to Find (HTF) and now Retired!! The Apatosaurus (a-PAT-oh-SAW-rus) known as the “thunder lizard” This piece measures 3 ¼ ” x 8” by Castagna and comes with picture description trading card. For many years the lizard as called BRONTOSAURUS but recently it was identified as a previously named fossil: APATOSAURUS. The 30-ton titan lived on the land and roamed all parts of the earth much like elephants. With its think neck, small head, and eighty-foot length it could eat low lying ferns and young leaves at the top of all trees. With no chewing teeth, APATOSAURUS probably used stones in their stomachs to aid digestion MYSTERY: An elephant must feed 16 to 18 hours a day to nourish itself, how then could such a GIANT find enough to eat? Lived 135 million years ago. NOTE: This item has been RETIRED! All of these 1998 Castagna's Figurines are hand cast from alabaster and resin. Once dried, the castings are removed from the molds. Castagna Collectibles, are not mass-produced. Each mold can be used only once or twice a day. It is after the figurines are removed from their molds that the talents of dedicated artisans and craftsmen from Bagni di Lucca, Italy hand-finish each sculpture. It is Castagna's creativity in design and the special manufacturing process that allows for the creation of a sculpture that is exquisitely detailed and of the utmost quality. Each sculpture is extensively researched for authenticity, with body shapes, colors, and expressions depicted as life-like as possible. Each sculpture is then copyrighted (domestic & international) with the copyright date molded into the figurine. Each sculpture is carefully wrapped and gift boxed for protection. This is probably why the crushed alabaster figurines were retired. When they' re gone the price will skyrocket higher on the secondary market. 15 oz #5 Pictures sell!
