THECODONTIA is a historic definition for “socket teeth” reptiles - while now obsolete, this former clade describes many of the animals which I reconstruct, and are featured on this website!
ABOUT ME
Hi, my name’s Dan Folkes. I’m a Palaeontology and Evolution grad student having studied an integrated Master’s at Bristol University. I am particularly interested in extinct reptiles, including dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and the variety of life before and after.
My work has been featured in a few peer-reviewed articles, in which I have had the pleasure of working with researchers and reconstructing newly described and iconic genera, including the spinosaurids Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator, the early tyrannosaur Eotyrannus, and the enormous carcharodontosaur Taurovenator.

This detailed 3D printed model depicts the skeleton of Giganotosaurus, one of the largest and most formidable theropod dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous period. Known for its massive skull, blade like teeth, and immense predatory power, Giganotosaurus rivaled Tyrannosaurus rex in size and ferocity. The model captures the animal’s distinctive anatomy with scientific accuracy, making it ideal for paleontology enthusiasts, educators, or collectors of prehistoric replicas.
This model was meticulously created using the most up to date scientific research on this iconic theropod, incorporating photogrammetric scans and images of the known material, my own skeletal reconstructions, and the latest peer-reviewed literature to ensure anatomical fidelity.
Printed in PA12s material, the model offers a smooth surface finish, high durability, and excellent dimensional stability; perfect for display, study, or as a unique gift for dinosaur and palaeontology enthusiasts.
This detailed 3D printed model depicts Inostrancevia, a fearsome gorgonopsian predator from the late Permian period. Known for its saber-like canine teeth and powerful build, Inostrancevia was one of the top predators of its time, long before the age of dinosaurs. The model captures the creature’s distinctive features with scientific accuracy, making it perfect for paleontology enthusiasts, educators, or collectors of prehistoric replicas.
This model was painstakingly created using the most up-to-date research on this extinct gorgonopsian, incorporating photogrammetry of real fossil specimens (including the holotype specimen) and the latest literature.
The PA12s material ensures a smooth finish, high durability, and excellent dimensional stability; perfect for display, study, or as a unique gift for palaeontology enthusiasts.
Bring Permian life to your collection with this finely detailed Scutosaurus skeleton model, 3D printed in durable PA12s (nylon powder) for strength and precision. Known as one of the last great armoured herbivores of the Permian period, Scutosaurus comes to life in a scientifically accurate skeletal reconstruction.
This model was painstakingly created using the most up to date research on this extinct pareiasaur, incorporating photogrammetry of real fossil specimens and the latest literature.
The PA12s material ensures a smooth finish, high durability, and excellent dimensional stability; perfect for display, study, or as a unique gift for palaeontology enthusiasts.
