4.1" Tyrannosaur Toe Bone On Stand - Aguja Formation, Texas

This is 4.1" long toe bone of a yet to be described Tyrannosaur from the Aguja Formation of West Texas. The formation would be the equivalent age of the Judith River Formation but the Tyrannosaurs from the Southwest are still very understudied. It comes on a custom metal display stand. There is fair amount of restoration to the distal end of the bone, where just the core was preserved. The outer sections of this end were reconstructed, hence the bargain price.

This specimen was collected within the past year on private deeded property in Brewster County, Texas. You won't see any other dinosaur material from the Aguja & Javelina Formations for sale because nearly all of the formation lies the borders of a national park or in Mexico which can not be collected. One of our partners was lucky enough to purchase several hundred acres of ranch land in Texas containing a good exposure of these formations and we will be offering more material from the locality in the future. We expect the continued work on this property will also yield a wealth of material and information for study, so hopefully the Tyrannosaurs will formally get a name in the next few years.
