.9" Fossil Raptor Phalange Bone Fragment - Texas

Fossil Raptor Phalange Bone Fragment - Texas #116647

This is a .9" fossil phalange (toe) section of an unidentified theropod (raptor) from the Aguja Formation, Brewster County Texas. It is the distal end of a toe or finger and shows the tendon attachment. There are a number of theropods from this formation and identifying a genus or species from a single hand or foot bone is very difficult.

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 and Javelina Formations for sale because nearly all of the formations lie within the boundaries of Big Bend National Park, where fossils may not be collected, or in Mexico, where fossils cannot be commercially traded. 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.
