About the asset

Allosaurus was the dominant predator of the Morrison Formation, and its hand claws, long and recurved, are among the most recognizable pieces of it. This claw measures 13.9 centimeters and is mounted on a custom stand together with the impression it left in the surrounding rock.

The tip section has been professionally restored. That restoration is disclosed here and will be documented in the offering materials.

Allosaurus carried three clawed fingers on each hand, against the two of Tyrannosaurus. The consignor identifies this claw as Allosaurus jimmadseni, a species named in 2020 from Morrison Formation material.
