A baby triceratops stop-motion armature from the production of Steven Spielberg's sci-fi action-adventure Jurassic Park. Spielberg initially planned to achieve the film's dinosaurs through "Go-Motion" animation, but new breakthroughs at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) enabled a mid-production pivot to digital animation as the technique of choice.

Phil Tippett is credited as the film's Dinosaur Supervisor, produced stop-motion animatronics for the dinosaur sequences, and supervised CG animation. Tippett won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects for his work on the film at the 66th annual Academy Awards.

This custom-made, stop-motion armature consists of a series of metal and black plastic joints and dowels formed in the shape of a triceratops, including head and tail accents. Several of the joints have been coated with plastic wrap for preservation and "HEY THERE!" is written in black on the front of the head accent. It exhibits extensive foam rubber remnants throughout. Dimensions: 16" x 5" x 7" (40.75 cm x 12.75 cm x 17.75 cm)

Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
