About

PrimalRelics is a project dedicated to making paleontology more accessible through affordable, scientifically-informed fossil replicas and reconstructions by biologist/paleoartist João Burini. The store features species modeled in 3D over the past years, with new additions slowly expanding the collection.

Each model is digitally sculpted using peer-reviewed descriptions, fossil photographs, when possible, feedback from researchers. The models are then 3D printed and hand-finished with care. As of 2024, all pieces are original reconstructions, (not actual casts) crafted individually rather than mass-produced. Because of this hands-on approach, larger models like Utahraptor 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)

If you have any feedback, suggestions, or just want to share your thoughts, feel free to reach out through the contact form, every message is appreciated.
