Spinosaurus Foot Claw and Toe Bone. Spinosaurus was a huge aquatic theropod dinosaur that was even bigger than a T-Rex. Its enormous long narrow skull was more crocodile-like as were its unserrated peg shaped teeth. Dinosaur claws are rarely found and big claws such as this 3.5 inch complete foot claw with a perfect tip and two inch phalange with no restoration are rarer still. The excellent claw also preserves the detail of its small blood grooves. Claws are much rarer than teeth because dinosaurs could replace their teeth but not their claws which were only fossilized after the dinosaur died. This 80 million year old dinosaur claw and toe bone was found in the Kem Kem Valley near Taouz, Morocco. This quality dinosaur fossil is housed in a 8X6 inch Riker mount. Estimated Value $1,400 - UP
