Collecta Prehistoric XL Colossosuchus

a CollectA Colossosuchus techniensis is being added to the company’s model range. This new phytosaur replica will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur sometime next year. It is regarded as one of the largest members of the Phytosauria known to science. A length estimate of around eight metres has been suggested. The CollectA Colossosuchus model, is the first phytosaur figure that the company has made. Colossosuchus had fang-like teeth at the front of its jaws but much smaller, conical teeth further back in its mouth. Earlier reconstructions of phytosaurs showed them with their belly close to the ground and the limbs held out sideways from the body. However, numerous tracks assigned to the Phytosauria indicate that they walked with the body held off the ground. The length of the digits and the presence or absence of claws are also different from modern crocodylians. Colossosuchus was formally named and described in 2023
