3-D
Skeleton Casts
Available
only
from:
Triebold
Paleontology, Inc.
This Xiphactinus
cast was specially ordered in "bone white" by the
California Academy of Natural Sciences.
For 125 years,
these vicious denizens of the world’s oceans were
displayed as two-dimensional wall mounts. Finally,
with the introduction of this 3-d cast, the full
effect of the gaping mouth and huge teeth can be
appreciated. 3-d also affords installation without
using valuable floor or wall space. exhibited as an
individual specimen or part of a school, the display
can also include prey species such as small mosasaurs,
sea turtles, or other fish. ask about multiple
specimen packages.
The
world’s only free standing, three-
dimensional copies of Xiphactinus
are available only from TPI in 12.5
(3.8 meters) and 17 foot (5.2 meters)
specimens.

Many years of
collecting and study went into the creation of
this most spectacular giant carnivorous fish
skeleton. Cast from a complete, disarticulated
specimen, the world’s only free standing,
three-dimensional copies of
Xiphactinus are
available only from TPI in 12.5 (3.8 meters) and
17 foot (5.2 meter) specimens. These feature the
most accurate anatomical detail possible.
Considerable assistance in this regard was
provided by Dr. J.D. Stewart, LACM; Dr. John
Maisey, AMNH; Dr. Steve Cumbaa, CMN; and others,
during the years of research and
discovery.

Xiphactinus
Stomach Contents
Xiphactinus
stomach contents cast.
|
Several Xiphactinus
specimens include stomach contents, including
the most famous, which you can see at the
Sternberg
Museum of Natural History
in Hays, Kansas. Stomach contents were found
with this original skeleton and consist of the
disarticulated remains of a Gillicus. The
original specimen from which this cast was made,
was discovered by Mike Everhart, who operates
the award-winning website:
www.oceansofkansas.com.
These remains were molded and cast in their
original matrix, with three vertebrae from the
Xiphactinus in the same slab. A cast of
the slab containing these stomach contents is
available to display with the three-dimensional
skeleton at extra cost.
