Well finally we've reached the end of the line for Marx dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. We're not done with Marx, just the critters. I still have to cover their cavemen and perhaps tie-up a loose end or two.
The last creature from Mold Group PL-1083, the Second Series Mold Group, is the Moschops (MOS-cops, meaning: calf face) is not a dinosaur but rather a synapsid herbivore living during the Middle Permian (Guadalupian) epoch of the Paleozoic era, ca265-260mil years ago and roamed around what is now South Africa. In our series of Marx dinosaurs we have already covered one other synapsid: the Dimetrodon. Synapsids apparently were the most prolific land animals of their time. Theory suggests that because of their size and bulk - 8.9'L (2.7m) - they may have lived partially in water the way that Hippopotamuses do.
The Marx Moschops comes in at far less substatntial 2 7/8" (7.30cm) L x 1 5/8" (4.12cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
