An authentic Spinosaurus aegyptiacus toe claw specimen, presented within a custom AES brass display mount. As with all our specimens, this fossil is original and genuine unless explicitly stated otherwise. Representing one of the most distinctive anatomical elements of one of the largest predatory dinosaurs known to science, this claw provides a direct connection to the specialised biology of Spinosaurus. Its robust form, pronounced curvature, and preserved surface detail reveal the adaptations of a predator uniquely associated with Late Cretaceous aquatic and coastal environments. Carefully prepared to preserve both stability and natural character, the specimen retains its original texture, morphology, and geological features. The custom brass presentation system has been designed to complement the fossil’s form while allowing close appreciation of its structure, surface detail, and history. Created for serious natural history collections, institutions, and private collectors, this specimen represents the intersection of palaeontological significance and considered design - an authentic fragment of one of the most unusual predators in Earth’s history. Condition This Spinosaurus aegyptiacus toe claw displays well-preserved anatomical features, strong morphology, and excellent structural stability. Following excavation, the specimen underwent expert preparation and conservation to ensure its longevity while maintaining the character of the original fossil material. Theropod claw elements retaining clear anatomical definition and minimal deformation are highly valued within palaeontological collections. This specimen demonstrates the combination of natural preservation and skilled preparation required to present a fossil of both scientific and aesthetic significance. About Spinosaurus Spinosaurus aegyptiacus was a highly specialised spinosaurid theropod from the Late Cretaceous, recognised for its elongated skull, conical teeth, powerful forelimbs, and distinctive dorsal sail. Its unusual anatomy reflects one of the most specialised adaptations known among large predatory dinosaurs. With jaws and dentition suited to capturing aquatic prey, Spinosaurus occupied an ecological niche unlike any other known theropod. Fossils of this extraordinary animal continue to provide important insights into the diversity, evolution, and environmental complexity of Cretaceous ecosystems. STAT Order: Saurischia / Family: Spinosauridae. Genus: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, [Spine Lizard]. Size: Among largest theropods, estimated 50 to 59 ft. Age: Late Cretaceous, 93 to 112 million years.
