CollectA's detailed replica of the prehistoric Ampelosaurus is lifelike down to the plates, bulbs and spines that made up its armor. The sauropod had a long neck and even longer tail and grew to be about 49 feet in length. Ampelosaurus lived in Europe during the Cretaceous Period. It was first discovered in 1989 and a new species of Ampelosaurus was discovered as recently as 2007. The Ampelosaurus is depicted here in the act of turning to look behind it.
