Questions and answers

FAQ

Whose skulls are in the collection?

Skulls in this section: 5 — dinosaurs: Triceratops, Psittacosaurus, Afrovenator; Ice Age animals, sabre-toothed cats, ancient whales and marine predators.

How much does a skull cost?

Prices from 1 600 000 ₽ to 3 500 000 ₽. The price depends on species, size and preservation: a large dinosaur skull is one of the most expensive fossil formats.

Where should a skull go in an interior?

A skull is a sculptural object: it needs a stand at eye level and side light so that its relief can be read. Compact skulls look good on a desk or in a cabinet, large ones on a plinth of their own.

About this selection

How to choose

Fossil skulls are chosen by how expressively the animal's 'portrait' reads. The preservation of the face, eye sockets and tooth row sets the first impression. Ask about the share of original bone and the care taken in preparation: this determines how natural the surface looks. Presentation matters too: a skull on a low stand is viewed from above, one on a console against a wall in profile, and these are different stories. For a study, a skull of up to half a metre is more practical; larger specimens need distance and overhead light. If you plan to buy a dinosaur skull, start by measuring the console or cabinet.
