What Makes It Uncommon

Metal master Chris Crooks designed his dinos to give the illusion that they're gobbling up the leaves of nearby bushes or trees. (Uncommon fact: The brontosaurus didn't chew its food, the long-necked herbivore just swallowed it whole...GULP!.)

  • Chris cuts each brontosaurus from cold rolled steel that's age-accelerated to create a bright, ruddy, rust patina.
  • Details like faces and spines make these prehistoric lawn "pets" stand out, drawing double-takes (and "Wow!'s").
  • Built-in ground stakes hold them secure.
  • Available in two sizes: Standard and Large. Pair them up for a charmingly Cretacious mother-and-baby display.
  • See instructions on how to assemble your brontosaurus here.
  • Handmade in Arizona.

  • Turn your yard into a prehistoric park by adding a commanding T. rex., the triceratops mama-and-baby set, or a pair of fierce velociraptors.

I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."

I love it!

Bought for a friend's birthday - hope she loves it as much as I!


Super fun for the garden!

These items were easy to put up and a great addition to our garden!


Love this for my yard!

I love both of my brontosauri! They are cute as bugs in a rug. I wish they were a little thicker sheets of metal but they are beauties!


So many compliments

When winter comes, the fun is revealed. They hide in the summer foliage but come out to play when the leaves drop. These are about two years old now and they still create joy in the garden


Outstanding yard friends!

I got these for my mom's holiday gift and she absolutely loves them. The metal is sturdy and good quality and these are much larger than most other ones you can find on the internet. She loved them so much we ended up getting other dinosaurs to go with them!


Just perfect

Love this garden feature! Gave it to my boyfriend who has always joked about waiting for dinosaurs to show up in his yard because he has so many plants. When I saw this I knew it was perfect. And it's a great talking piece when we have company over!


Amazing Bronto!

Purchased the large size to stand in the giant cactus garden. Beautifully made. Weathers nicely. Totally unexpected when you round the corner. Worth the price.


I love my brontosaurus

This is so great! I already have the raptors and have been eyeing the brontosaurus. Finally created a spot for him. My neighbors kids also love him.


Best Father's Day gift!!

This brontosaurus was the hit of Father's Day! Such a unique gift for my hubby of 36 years and best dad of our 3 grown kids. Our grandkids love it! Well packed, sturdy and only had to easily attach the tail. Might buy the smaller one for his birthday.


Love them.

We bought everything we can find from him that are dinos.

Customer questions


Do they require any maintenance, as I've had them for two years now. Should they be cleaned at all?

Verified reply from Allison

Your sculpture does not need to be cleaned. You may see a nice patina by now. If you'd like the to keep it as is, you can spray it with a clear coat. That can be found at any hardware store.


The large size faces right and the standard size faces left, correct? To get the same as advertised pics, I buy both sizes and I will receive right and left? I worry that I will receive the same facing dinos in two different sizes. According to the pic the tail attached to the back side so it has to be right and left facing.

Verified reply from Amy

Yes, we confirmed with the artist directly and you are exactly right! The large faces right, and the standard faces left.


How does this hold up in winter and snow? I am interested in purchasing for someone in Boston.

Verified reply from Amy

These metal sculptures are made to withstand typical weather conditions, but we would recommend taking extra caution with them during heavier weather conditions, such as strong winds.


Is it a set of two, mother and child, or are they two individuals pieces?

Verified reply from Allison

They are sold separately.
