Apatosaurus / Brontosaurus Skull Replica + Stand

Bring a bit of the Jurassic to your shelf with this Apatosaurus skull fossil replica — also widely known as Brontosaurus.

This model includes:

• Skull fossil replica (main build plate)
• Matching display stand on the second build plate for a tidy, museum-style presentation

A quick note on the name

Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were long thought to be the same dinosaur. In the early 1900s, scientists decided Apatosaurus had priority, and Brontosaurus was dropped as a separate name, despite becoming wildly popular in books and museums.
More recent research suggests Brontosaurus may be distinct after all — which is why both names are still commonly used today.

Printing & support removal

This is a fairly forgiving print compared to many skulls.

• Supports generally come away cleanly and easily
• Still take care around thin edges and tighter areas
• Remove supports gradually, rather than pulling large sections at once
• Flush cutters and needle-nose pliers are more than enough for cleanup

If you print it, feel free to share a Make — I’d love to see how yours turns out.
