Unearthed in the continental intercalaire, a scientifically significant 49cm Spinosaurus tibia section highlights 19 million years of evolutionary prowess. Known for its sail-like dorsal fin, potent jaws, the Spinosaurus was an adept predator with specialised hunting capabilities. Its agility and intricate design surpassed similar-sized dinosaurs, making it highly successful in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Despite its effectiveness, Spinosaurus specimens are relatively rare in discoveries, amplifying their appeal among researchers and collectors eager to delve into the mysteries of this colossal predator from the past given the relatively rare discoveries, further amplifying a desirability among researchers and collectors alike.

CONDITION

Showcased on THE FOSSIL STORE™ AES brass stand. This well-preserved specimen boasts excellent integral structure and stabilisation, displaying a beautiful white-tonal palette reminiscent of its original excavated beds. The Spinosaurus tibia section underwent necessary stabilisation treatment to address a natural fracture incurred during the fossilisation process dating up to 112 million years. Beyond its scientific significance, the specimen's aesthetic allure surpasses that of most others.
