A Rare museum-standard fossil Spinosaurus aegyptiacus dinosaur toe claw for sale measuring 91mm exclusively at THE FOSSIL STORE! A wonderful discovery of a Spinosaurus aegyptiacus toe claw that exhibits the identifying attributes of the Spinosaurid family, a very slightly recurved ventral surface or plantar surface, with a depression in the pad region. This was a point of contact of a tendon. The slightly flared flange in the medial view and groove just above this. The ungual crest having a narrowing domed dorsal section. The point of the toe claw is complete, bone structure is evident and clear to the proximal end where the blood vessel structure is profuse and well defined. One of the most ferocious theropod dinosaur to have roamed the lagoons and waterways of what is now the Northern Saharan Desert of North Africa.

Currently, the best fossils are becoming more desirable and of course, more valuable, like all fossil material, any one piece can double in value overnight based on findings and closure of sites. Old sites are now being heavily re-excavated in the hopes that fossils of such a calibre as this one can be found again, however, this is highly unlikely. Now coupled with the lack of specifically accessible beds, is leading to a concern that the grounds will eventually be extinguished of dinosaur fossils altogether and this is before the governments begin to close the few sites that are left.
