A Hand Claw, Foot Claw & Tooth From Deltadromeus--A Rare African Dinosaur. Most dinosaurs are known only from their teeth and a few bones. Until a few years ago, Deltadromeus was only known from its teeth and a few claws. In 1996 Paul Sereno discovered a partial skeleton in Morocco. It is now known that Deltadromeus is a coelurosaur, distantly related to T-Rex, but only about 15-20 feet long. This remarkable grouping consists of a curved 3" long middle hand claw, which is complete except for a weathered tip, a 2.9" foot claw complete with a ¼" repair to tip, and a 1" complete serrated tooth. These three rare fossils, missing from most museums, are housed in an 8 ½"x6 ½" Ryker mount. Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,350.
