A Rare museum-standard fossil Spinosaurus aegyptiacus dinosaur vertebra bone for sale measuring 178mm in height exclusively available at THE FOSSIL STORE™. This Spinosaurus aegyptiacus has nice preservation, making it an excellent specimen for examination. Several of the processes are evident. The vertebra has similarities to Ernest Stromer's illustrations from the early Egyptian excavations. Overall a wonderful example of the mightiest semi-aquatic carnivorous aquatic reptilian found to date.

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 the 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.
