Premium Quality Slab Of Dinosaur Claws And Teeth From The Hell Creek Formation. This 65-70 million year old slab of dinosaur claws, teeth and bones was just cleaned and the largest 4 inch long Ornithomimus claw restored and placed back into its original position as found. Most dinosaur bones and teeth are found in rock that was part of a river or lake bed over 65 million years ago. The fossils are then removed cleansed and restored and sold, but this interesting and educational 12 x 6 inch slab was left intact because they are amany different fossils contained on its ancients river or lake bed surface. There are two huge 4 inch and 3 inch Ornithominus hand and foot claws, a 1.25 mostly complete Nanotyrannosaurus tooth with good serrations, some Champosaur teeth, crocodile teeth and scutes, pieces of dinosaur bone and other intersting fossils to study. Ornithomimus was fairly large ostrich like dinosaur without teeth but with long sharp claws such as the 4 inch hand claw found on this slab. There is also a inch long foot claw also belonging to Ornithomimus.The huge hand claw was removed from the matrix, cracks filled and perhaps some restoration to the tip and put back in a place in a 3D elevated position on the sandstone matrix. The important 1.25 inch Nanotyrannous tooth is a virtually complete shed tooth. There are many other fossils to be identified on this excellent study and display fossil from te Hell Creek Formayion of South Dakota.
