About

PrimalRelics is a project dedicated to making paleontology more accessible through scientifically-informed fossil replicas and reconstructions by biologist João Burini, featuring a collection of species modeled over the past years, with new reconstructions slowly being added. These models are made for people who share a fascination with prehistoric life, from collectors and educators to anyone with a curiosity for paleontology.

Each model is sculpted using peer-reviewed descriptions, fossil photographs, and when possible, feedback from researchers. The models are then printed and hand-finished with care. As of 2025, all pieces are original reconstructions crafted individually rather than mass-produced. Because of this hands-on approach, larger models like the Ceratosaurus may take more time to restock, there's also a degree of painting variability to be expected (larger variations like bright or dark color schemes will be stated as variant options)

If you have any feedback, suggestions or want to inquire on commissions, feel free to reach out through the contact form, every message is appreciated.
