ARCHAEOPTERYX LITHOGRAPHICA
Solnhofen colours reproduced in this stunning new version.
Images shown are from our actual cast and not stock images from google!
Brand new to Prehistoric is one of our all time favourites - the 'Berlin Archaeopteryx'. One of the first iconic fossil discoveries that helped give us our first insight into the link between dinosaurs and birds.
In life this magnificent creature would have been about the same size as a modern day rook or magpie, this stunning precision cast is now available through us in exquisite detail, and subtly hand painted to match the original Solnhofen limestone formations of Bavaria, Germany dating back to mid Jurassic.
A truly timeless replica suitable for any collection or exhibit.
45 X 37cm. Hand cast, finished and painted at our studios in the UK.
