AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) – Itat Formation, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia

Exceptional and top-rare posterior caudal vertebra from an unidentified theropod dinosaur, originating from the renowned Itat Formation (Middle Jurassic, Bathonian) in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Siberia.

Fossil material from this formation is scarce on the market and highly valued for its scientific relevance, being the same geological unit that yielded early tyrannosauroid remains such as Kileskus.

This specimen comes from the posterior section of the tail, showing the characteristic elongated centrum and well-preserved articular structures. The bone surface retains excellent natural texture and detail, making it an attractive piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Jurassic theropods.

Dimensions: 7.5 × 5 cm
Condition
Very good preservation with strong anatomical detail.
Natural bone surfaces, no visible restoration.
High-quality specimen for advanced dinosaur fossil collections

Geological Age: Middle Jurassic (Bathonian)
Itat Formation
Location: Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine theropod vertebra from one of Siberia’s most important Jurassic formations, seldom available on the fossil market.

It will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking.

Seller's Story

Don & Donna Fossils finally moved to Spain. We are a Don & Donna Fossils, a couple united by the love of exploration, field research, professional preparation and museum display of fossils from all over the world.

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
