​About the Stegosaurus & Gular Armor:
​Living approximately 155 to 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period in North America, Stegosaurus is among the most recognized dinosaurs. While famous for its double row of alternating dorsal plates and spiked tail (thagomizer), exceptional fossil specimens have also revealed a protective chain-mail-like pavement of hundreds of small bony ossicles under the throat—known as gular armor—faithfully reproduced in this collector’s piece.
​Modular Assembly & Safe Transport:
​To ensure 100% safety and avoid any risk of breakage during international transit, the display is shipped modularly in 3 main macro-parts:
​Skull & Cervical Spine (Neck)
​Gular Throat Armor Shield
​Crafted Wooden Base with Metal Mounting Rods
(The 4 dorsal plates feature precision friction-fit pins and slot easily into position on top).
​Assembly: Assembly is tool-free, intuitive, and takes less than 2 minutes thanks to pre-aligned mounting slots and rods.
​Optional Fixative: A specialized adhesive is included in the package if the buyer chooses to lock the joints permanently, although the snug mechanical fit holds firmly without glue.
​Shipping & Packaging:
​Packaged with extreme care using multi-layer high-density foam, bubble wrap, and reinforced double-wall cardboard box.
​Shipped via top-tier express courier with full tracking and shipping insurance.
