Complete Arm and Leg of a Psittacosaurus Dinosaur. This large 15½" long leg, complete down to the claws, and 14½" long arm and hand belong to Psittacosaurus, the earliest ancestor of all the famous horned dinosaurs. Psittacosaurus was a small dinosaur of only 4-5 feet in length when fully grown. This impressive arm and leg belong to a fully grown adult. The large foot measures 5" long with claws over 1" in length. All of the bones in the foot have been professionally attached in the correct position and can be easily examined. The hand is 2½" long down to the claws, which are up to ½" long. In life the claws would have been covered in keratin, the same substance that forms our fingernails. Found near Beipiao City in Liaoning Province of northern China, this 125-130 million year old dinosaur is more than 60 million years older than its more famous relative, Triceratops.
