Such pieces became widely available in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as mass-produced decorative items, often made from resin or similar synthetic materials to mimic natural fossils or bronze patinas. These sculptures appeal to collectors of natural history replicas, dinosaur and reptile enthusiasts, and those seeking unique conversation pieces for home or office display.
