Description from the seller
Scientific replica of the claw of Deinonychus antirrhopus – 9.14 cm – With stand (Holotype YPM 5205)
Description of the item
For sale a spectacular high-fidelity resin scientific replica of the famous phalangeal claw of the second toe (the so-called "sickle claw") of Deinonychus antirrhopus, one of the most iconic and ferocious dromeosaurs (raptors) of the Cretaceous.
This piece is an exact clone molded from the original holotype YPM 5205, housed at the prestigious Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History (YPM). It stands out for its impressive dark finish that perfectly simulates the mineralization of the original fossil, capturing every crack, texture, and anatomical detail of the lethal claw that it used to grasp its prey.
The lot includes the transparent acrylic display stand shown in the images, ideal for displaying the piece elegantly.
