This is a prototype model of a newly discovered feathered tyrannosoid, Dilong Paradoxus. It was created by Alan Groves of Art Dinouveau for a new book on Feathered Dinosaurs by Chris Sloan of National Geographic in conjunction with publishing house Simon & Schuster. The consulting scientists for this project were Professor Xu Xing of the Beijing Natural History Museum and Professor Mark Norell of the New York Natural History Museum. "Scientist Xu Xing and colleagues found the tyrannosauroid, an early relative of T. rex, in Liaoning province in China. The species, named Dilong paradoxus, provides the first direct fossil evidence that tyrannosauroids had hairlike primitive feathers." This model was created over an eight week period using fossil reference material, an illustration drawing by Portia Sloan and the colour scheme was suggested by Chris Sloan. This dinosaur model is now available for purchase at a price of $US8,000.
