The models of these Upper Permian dicynodons are intended to show the animals in a life-like situation, based on fossil evidence and scientific reconstruction. One of the animals is searching for food, while the other is lifting itself out of its burrow.
The models base on two nearly complete Diictodon sollasi Broom specimens housed in the South African Museum, Cape Town, South Africa. The size is calculated in comparison with tooth finds of the Korbach fissure filling of Korbach, Germany.
The models were made by Susanne Henssen under the scientific supervision of
Dr. Eberhard "Dino" Frey (Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe, Germany).
Both casts were produced using high quality epoxy resin, reinforced with glassfibres. Eyes are made of glass.
The models were coloured using non-fade paint and varnish.
The standing specimen has a body-length of 70 cm.
The other is about 40 cm long.
