Tyrannosaurus Rex Claw Cast | Museum-Quality Paleontological Reproduction 8L

This Tyrannosaurus Rex claw cast originates from a specific, documented specimen: the hind limb claw of a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex, excavated from a partial skeleton found in a dried stream bed in South Dakota, USA. Notably, this claw was found 25 miles from the site where the original T. rex tooth cast (5097Z) was unearthed -- placing both pieces within the same regional fossil record and making them a natural display pair.

A Juvenile Giant, Preserved in Stone

Even as a juvenile, T. rex was a formidable animal -- and its hind limb claws reflect that. This T. rex hind limb fossil replica measures 8 inches in length, 6 inches in height, and 3 inches in depth, capturing the curved, robust form that provided traction and grip for an animal that could weigh more than 20,000 pounds at maturity. The hand-painted finish evokes the aged ochre tones of a compound stone paleontological reproduction, fresh from an excavation context — detailed, convincing, and built to last.
