Tyrannosaurus rex Foot Claw
Presented here is a highly complete fossil foot claw from Tyrannosaurus rex, distinguished by its intact natural tip—a feature rarely preserved. Its curvature, bone texture, and dense mineral patina together form a striking testament to the animal’s evolutionary craftsmanship. Seen held in hand, this specimen evokes immediate visceral awe: it is not merely an object of study, but of prehistoric power you can feel.
This Tyrannosaurus rex foot claw was legally excavated from private land near Newcastle, Wyoming — part of a fossil-rich region owned by Mike Harris, with ownership verified by a 1999 warranty deed filed in Weston County. The specimen was legally collected, transferred through private hands, and ultimately acquired by Fossil Realm Inc.
