Services
The Dinosaur Studio is more than just dinosaur replicas. Several examples of the scope of services available are listed below.



Exhibits: With over thirty years experience as a professional model maker and mold maker Dan LoRusso has brought this expertise to The Dinosaur Studio. These experiences as well as his professional and personal relationships with some of the worlds leading paleontologists and dinosaur artists have enabled LoRusso to utilize this knowledge to design, build, and maintain museum exhibits. Everything from supplying the fossil replicas for a small "Dig Pit" to the assembly of a formidable traveling exhibit can be obtained through The Dinosaur Studio consultation and brainstorming to help customize your exhibits is also available.

The images below are of several pieces either renovated or produced by The Dinosaur Studio. The Compsognathus skeleton is a kit originally sculpted by Bruce Mohn and built and painted by The Dinosaur Studio. The Edmontosaurus humerus as well as the Tyrannosaurus footprint and Tarbasaurus eggs were procured through our vast network of contacts. The "Archaeoptechix" plaque was designed and sculpted by the Dinosaur Studio as a faux fossil to show the similarities between dinosaurs and modern day birds. These pieces are all part of recently renovated exhibits in several museums across the country.
