Ankylosaur Foot With Hooves. Armored plated Ankylosaurs with their huge clubs on their tails are one of the most recognizable dinosaurs, but despite their popularity any fossil from them except for their armored skutes is rare. Their fossils are rare because they did not live in herds or close to lakes and streams where most of the fossil dinosaurs are found. This rare front foot consists of three toes each 2 inches long with a small hoof at the end of each toe. The three toes are 2 inches wide. The particular species is Shamosaurus 90-120 million years old from the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Shamosaurus was between 15-20 feet long when fully grown. All of the bones exhibit a lovely light brown color and are original with no restoration and are mounted in a 8 x 6 inch Riker Mount. This is the first time Ankylosaur foot bones have ever been auctioned.
Add $15 for domestic hipping.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
