CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DROMAEOSAURS
Discovered in 1978 in North America, the dromaeosaur Saurornitholestes was found to have a much larger brain than most other "raptors". At approximately 5 feet in length and weighing only around 30 pounds, its size was not intimidating. Nevertheless, this dinosaur was extremely fast and most likely a very smart and ferocious predator. The sickle-shaped claws on each foot and the hand claws are very thin and dramatically curved. The hands of Saurornitholestes were well-adapted for grasping and its bones are hollow creating a very strong but lightweight frame for speed in running. No doubt, to many other creatures living in the midst of Saurornitholestes, this was one swift and deadly meat-eater to avoid.
This Saurornitholestes "raptor" dromaeosaur dinosaur tooth possesses finely detailed and intact serrations along with a sharp tip. The enamel is a beautiful light cream hue with CHOICE lustrous enamel preservation. INTACT with NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION. For the rarity and uniqueness of this species, we highly recommend adding this top-grade example to your collection as this quality is always very limited in availability.
