1.2.2016 NEW ARTICLE, NEW YEAR
Todd was quoted in a new National Geographic article. No bones, but this is an interesting article about the emu meat industry. The story centers around the American Emu Association, and their progress since the early 1990's.

After a brief move to Manhattan, our conjoined calf skeleton will travel to the West Coast. The Evolution Store will be auctioning off the skeleton and taxidermy mount through Bonhams' Los Angeles location. The auction will take place November 23, 2014 at 10am PST.

Osteosaur's newest skeleton articulation is a conjoined calf! This animal had two heads, two tails, six legs, but only one pelvis! Although rare, conjoined twins have been known to occur in a number of vertebrate species.
Check out more photos of this/these calves on our Skeletons Archive page.
This skeleton was articulated for The Evolution Store in New York City. For questions about purchasing and prices please contact: http://theevolutionstore.com/contact-us 3.25.2014 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
This March, Osteosaur was mentioned in a National Geographic online article! A giant oviraptor dinosaur (Anzu wyliei) was recently named, and Todd Green (Osteosaur owner) was interviewed by writer Peter Miller to discuss similarities between oviraptors and modern ratites (emus, cassowaries, ostriches, rheas, & kiwis). Green also elaborates on his research with ratite birds, and his "emu wrangling" experiences. This 11-foot long, North American dinosaur has been playfully referred to by researchers as "The Chicken from Hell" because of its bird-like skeleton.
