Allosaurus Claw

Species: Allosaurus fragilis – one of the dominant predators of the Late Jurassic, Allosaurus was a fast, agile carnivore equipped with sharp teeth and large hand claws. This replica captures one of its most formidable weapons: the inner manual claw used for grasping and slashing prey.

Size: 20 cm (7.9 inches) measured straight from tip to root
Approx. 27 cm (10.6 inches) along the curve

Time Period: Late Jurassic (~155–145 million years ago)

Discovery Inspiration: Based on fossil material from the Morrison Formation, USA—one of the richest dinosaur-bearing formations in the world, and the site of many iconic Allosaurus discoveries.

Claw Replica:
Made from durable resin and finished in a dark fossil-style tone, this striking replica features:

• A long, deeply curved inner hand claw with a sharply pointed tip

• Realistic surface detail, including bone texture and subtle grooves

• Slender, blade-like shape reflecting its use in gripping and tearing flesh

• Visually striking finish ideal for display or educational reference

• Realistic weight.

Scientific Context:
Unlike the crushing bite of later tyrannosaurs, Allosaurus likely relied on speed and slashing attacks. Its three-fingered hands ended in large claws that may have delivered fatal wounds to prey. This replica reflects the inner claw—the longest and most curved of the set—highlighting the predatory adaptations of Jurassic theropods.

Assembly:
Ships fully assembled as a single solid piece. No stand included.
