Huge Five Inch Long Carcharodontosaurus Dinosaur Foot Claw. Carcharodontosaurus was a huge theropod (meat-eating dinosaur), perhaps even larger than a T-Rex. This massive and heavy five-inch-long foot claw is a light brown color with an excellent, not distorted, shape and no restoration except for the usual crack filling. This large, impressive foot claw is 80 million years old from the Tegana Formation of the Kem-Kem basin of Morocco, North Africa. Dinosaur claws are much rarer than dinosaur teeth because dinosaurs replaced their shed teeth but did not replace their claws; they are only recovered where the dinosaur died and was buried. This claw is much larger than those usually found. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP

 
Realized $1,508
