Carnotaurus — Skull
The horned face of a Patagonian predator.
This two-foot cast renders the unmistakable head of the theropod whose name means flesh-eating bull. Above each eye sits a thick conical horn, set over a remarkably short, deep snout that lends the face a blunt, almost bovine profile. Mounted at eye level, it confronts the viewer with a silhouette few other carnivores can claim.
Each piece is hand-finished, the horn ridges and the texture of the jaw articulated by hand to read with quiet authority on a plinth or shelf.
Carnotaurus bore a pair of thick horns above its eyes, an ornamentation unlike that of any other large predatory dinosaur.
Its skull was unusually short and deep, and bite-force studies suggest a relatively weak bite better suited to quick strikes than to crushing.
The genus is known from a single well-preserved skeleton recovered in Patagonia, Argentina, and described in 1985.
