AI-assisted summary

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.

I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world. Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan. Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us. Don & Donna
