Ferrodraco lentoni gen. et sp. nov. holotype specimen AODF 876. All preserved elements were photographed and scaled to the same size, then articulated where possible. These were then used as the basis for the scaling of the skeletal reconstruction, the missing parts of which were based on the skeletal reconstruction of Tropeognathus mesembrinus by Mark Witton. Scale bar = 50 mm.

What Scale are Dinosaur Models?
scale Dinosauria
A question we get frequently asked is what scale are dinosaur models? When considering model aircraft, trains or cars this is a relatively simple question to answer. For example, collectors can acquire a scale model of RMS Titanic.  Any declared scale is likely to be accurate as the dimensions of this ocean liner are known.
