Forelimb bone radius from a theropod of the Abelisauridae family; Geological Period: Early Cretaceous (145–100.5 million years ago); Treatment: Conservado; Condition: Natural; Authenticity: Original.
Description from the seller
Description
This lot presents a genuine fossil bone attributed to a theropod dinosaur of the Abelisauridae family, a distinctive group of carnivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous in Gondwanan landmasses.
The specimen is identified as a radius, a forelimb bone characteristic of theropods. Abelisaurids are especially notable for their reduced and anatomically unique forelimbs, making isolated arm elements particularly interesting and collectible from both a scientific and display perspective.
Due to the isolated nature of the specimen, the taxonomic and anatomical attribution is made in good faith and remains tentative, following standard paleontological practice.

Approx.3,8 x 3,5 x 2,2 cm
Condition
Fossil bone in good natural condition
No visible restorations or reconstructions
Natural bone surface and fossilization texture preserved

Photography Note

Shipping
The fossil will be carefully packed to ensure safe international shipping.
