Diplocaulus is an extinct genus of lepospondyl amphibians which lived from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Permian of North America and Africa. Diplocaulus had a stocky, salamander-like body, but was relatively large, reaching up to 1 m in length. Although a complete tail is unknown for the genus, a nearly complete articulated skeleton described in 1917 preserved a row of tail vertebrae near the head. This was construed as circumstantial evidence for a long, thin tail capable of reaching the head if the animal was curled up. Most studies since this discovery have argued that eel-like tail movement was the main force of locomotion utilized by Diplocaulus and its relatives. Model includes a Pre-supported version with and without the pegs to attach to the base The model is sized for 1:15 of the actual size. You can reduce or enlarge the model using the slicing software if you need a different size. Pre-supported model is oriented to minimize supports to the face and other high-detail parts. Care should be taken when removing the supports to avoid damaging the model. | Download free and paid 3D printable STL files
