Sauropod Dinosaur Claw
Bothriospondylus
Jurassic
Madagascar
Specimens from Bothriospondylus are rarely seen. Though the genus was discovered in 1875, only a very few bones, teeth and claws have been found from this 60-70-foot long-necked sauropod. Bothriospondylus is primarily known from its pencil shaped teeth, which are hundreds of times more common than foot claws from this three-toed genus. Offered is a rarely seen Bothriospondylus claw. Measuring 5 x 2in on the curve
