Pelagornis is an extinct genus of large seabirds that belonged to the order Pelagornithidae, often referred to as "bony-toothed birds" due to their distinctive pseudo-teeth. These birds lived from the Eocene to the Pliocene, spanning millions of years and leaving behind fossil evidence across multiple continents. Their remarkable adaptations for flight and their sheer size make them one of the most fascinating avian species to have ever existed.
This piece is a hand painted resin Pelagornisi sandersi skull. Digitally sculpted in ZBrush and 3D printed, it employs magnets to link the mandible to the Skull.
