This is a Beautiful Top Quality claw from the the giant African sail-back Spinosaur Dinosaur from the middle Cretaceous of the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco! Spinosaurus was one of the largest and most bizarre carnivores to ever live on earth! Unlike other carnivorous dinosaurs, Spinosaurus walked on all fours with short hind legs and long arms! Stanger still was its crocodile like snout and large sail on its back for which its named. It was semi-aquatic, living in rivers like crocodiles and feeding on large fish. It grew to lengths of over 50 feet, longer than the infamous T-rex! The claw measures 3.3255 x 1.227 x .839 inches (8.45 x 3.12 x 2.13 cm) with a fantastic tip! It has a repaired break, but it isn't a composite or restored unlike the OVERWHELMING majority of Spinosaur claws on the market (seriously I can count on one hand the number of Spinosaur claws I've seen for sale that don't have a ton of funny business or are just outright fake)! It comes in a large clear double sided display case with a stand for easy transport and a beautiful display!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SPINOSAURUS: Traditionally all Moroccan Spinosaurus material has been labeled as Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, however recent discoveries have shown that there might have been several Spinosaurus type dinosaurs. There also might not have been and the new specimens are just showing individual variation. In light of this I will be labeling my Spinosaurus material as "Spinosaur" to cover all bases.
All of my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!
