Citipati osmolskae

Citipati, a genus of theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous, is famed for its bird-like features, including a skull resembling modern avians. Fossil evidence suggests nesting behavior akin to modern birds, with specimens found in brooding positions, possibly incubating eggs. This behavior offers insights into the evolution of parental care among dinosaurs.

This piece is a hand painted resin Citipati osmolskae skull. Digitally sculpted in ZBrush and 3D printed, it employs magnets to link the mandible to the skull.
