Product Description
This claw is an exact replica of one belonging to Dryptosaurus aquilunguis (drip-toe-SORE-us ah-quill-UN-gwiss), a meat-eating dinosaur that roamed parts of eastern North America about 70 million years ago. Along with Hadrosaurus foulkii, it was one of the first dinosaurs discovered in North America. This claw is part of the only known skeleton of Dryptosaurus. It was found in 1866 in a New Jersey quarry and brought to the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, where it remains to this day. This product is available exclusively through the Academy of Natural Sciences.
