Assembly Instructions
Your Anatomics T-Rex comes complete with all the parts necessary for
you to create a complete dinosaur. This includes the skeletal structure,
organs and even a layer of skin. You can display this magnicent creature
complete or assemble the creature using only the organs and skeleton. Ei-
ther way you will be able to see how a dinosaur looks from the inside out.
Assembly is easy and does not require any glue. The parts have been de-
signed to t together and interlock so that once together the model of the
T-Rex will stay together.
Disassembly is easy as well, with just a careful tug, you can pull the dino-
saur aprt to examine the components more closely.
STEP-1 Assembly of Skull Section
Beginning with the right side of the skull, place the jaw into the skull as
shown in Fig.1.
Fig. 1

Next, attach the brain to the upper mouth. Press the tongue onto the lower
mouth. Attach the upper mouth and brain to the right side of skull and the
tongue and lower mouth to the right jawbone. See Fig. 2.
Fig. 2
Do not set the other side of the skull or jaw in place yet. Before complet-
ing the skull assembly, it is neccessary to set the neck and upper spine into
the skull. Once that is complete then the skull can be completed.
STEP-2
The neck/upper spine is made of two halves. Press them together and place
the ball joint at the tip of the neck into the round joint at the back of the
skull. This ball joint should have a loose t. See Fig. 3.

After setting the neck joint into the skull, complete the skull assembly by
tting the other side of the skull and jaw onto the side with the mouth and
tongue. Once completed the skull assembly will t together tightly, while
the neck and upper spine should t more loosely. You assembled skull sec-
tion should look like Fig. 4.

STEP 3 - Assemble the organs
Fig. 5
Set the organs together as shown. The organs attach to the spinal column
in two groupings. The Liver and the Kidney attach directly. The Windpipe,
Lung, Heart and Entrails attach as a unit.

STEP 4 - Attach spinal column to the Neck as shown in Fig. 7
Fig. 7
The rib cage comes in two halves. Place the spinal column with the organs
into the rib cage. To line up the rib cage for proper assembly, along the top
of the rib cage there are 3 notches. Each assembly, along the top of the rib
cage there are 3 notches. Each one of these notches is for one of the posts
that stick up from the spinal colums. Set the spinal column assembly into
the rib cage aligning the posts into the notches. Then place the second half
of the rib cage over the organs and press t the two halves together. See
Fig. 8.
STEP 5 - Attach the Rib Cage

STEP 6 - Attach front and rear femur
Right front and left front femur attach to the top of the rib cage and con-
nect together as shown in Fig. 9.

Right rear and left rear femurs attach to spine as well as each other as
shown on Fig. 9.
SKIN OR SKELETON?
For skin proceed to step 7;
For skeleton go to step 11.
STEP 7 - apply the skin to the skeleton as shown in Fig. 10.
Snap the two halves of the tail section over the skeleton tail. Snap the two
mid-section halves of skin in the same manner over the rib cage. Snap the
two head section halves of skin over the skull and neck.

STEP 8 - Assemble Rear Legs
Snap halves of rear leg bones together. Place bones inside of leg skin.
Snap two halves of leg skin together as shown in Fig. 11.
Fig. 11
Attach foot as shown in Fig. 11.
STEP 9 - Attach rear legs to the body.
STEP 10 - Attach arms.
There are no bones for the assembly of the arms. Each arm will simply t
into the socket, by means of a pressure t. See Fig. 12.

STEP 11 - Set the T-Rex into the base.
Because of the weight of the T-Rex, there is a support post. Insert the post
under the tail and into the hole in the base. Also, there are two additional
holes in the base to receive the posts that are under each foot. This will
provide stability for the fully assembled dinosaur. See Fig. 13.

STEP 12 - Optional Skeleton View
Assemble rear legs. Snap halves of rear leg bones together. Attach rear
legs to rear femur. Attach skeleton feet to the bottom of legs.
STEP 13 - Attach upper arm bones to front femur. Attach skeleton claws to
arms.
Return to Step 11 for instruction on attaching the T-Rex to the base.
