Fwd: Re: Liaoning replicas

Personally, I'm *disgusted* at the high price of these
reproductions. I've found very nice replicas of
Archaeopteryx on ebay for around $30. The chinese
government should back off. Nobody should have
exclusive rights on a *replicated* piece of the past.
It's totally absurd. Someone should start an
underground casting shop and sell these suckers at
reasonable prices. Hmmmmph.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, by exclusive arrangements with the Chinese government, we have first generation reproductions of the following:

Color:  Brown skeleton

Comments: Wonderful reproduction of a dinosaur skeleton displaying feathers and stomach stones. Skeleton displays excellent detail and dimensional relief with matrix. This is a first generation cast of the original specimen which is currently on display in a Chinese museum. It was also featured on the cover of the July 1998 issue of National Geographic magazine (Vol. 194, No. 1). Perfect for study, research and display!   #PS-R0101

Name:   Sinosauropteryx prima

We also have 2 different undescribed Dromaeosaurids and the holotype of Confuciusornis dui.

I apologize for the high prices but there is a substantial royalty that is being paid to the Chinese government on each reproduction. Also, with each purchase, a signed acknowledgement is required stating that you will not duplicate the reproductions.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or interest.

Best regards,

Hello, I heard that your company sold replicas of
dinosaurus from Liaoning Province in China. I am
interested in buying a replica of either
Sinosauropteryx, Protarchaeopteryx, Microraptor, or
Caudipteryx. Could I get a price quote on those that
you sell? Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Waylon Rowley
