The PNSO "Duke the Spinops," is a meticulously crafted model that brings the Late Cretaceous ceratopsian to life. This figure showcases the characteristic single nasal horn and the unique spiked neck frill adorned with two long, backward-pointing spikes and two forward-curving bony hooks, reflecting the latest paleontological findings. This model features a detailed frill with vibrant coloring that really "pops"

Spinops sternbergorum, whose name translates to "spined face," is a ceratopsian dinosaur that roamed North America during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 83.5 to 70.6 million years ago.

This herbivorous dinosaur inhabited terrestrial environments, feeding on the diverse vegetation of its time. The genus was named in honor of the Sternberg family, notable fossil hunters who discovered its remains in Alberta, Canada.

Spinops is closely related to other centrosaurine ceratopsians like Styracosaurus and Centrosaurus, sharing features such as a prominent nasal horn and a relatively short neck frill. However, Spinops distinguishes itself with a unique arrangement of cranial ornaments, including the spiked frill, which likely played roles in species recognition, display behaviors, or defense.

High detailed, realistic and exquisite.
