About the Item
Step into the Late Jurassic with this Rare Dryosaurus altus Dinosaur Femur Fossil - 150 Million Years Old Jurassic Specimen, a remarkably scarce bone from one of the era’s most agile herbivorous dinosaurs. While larger Jurassic species dominate the fossil record, Dryosaurus remains are significantly rarer, and complete or near‑complete limb bones are especially prized. Therefore, this femur stands out as a scientifically important and highly collectible specimen.
Moreover, Dryosaurus played a key role in understanding early ornithopod evolution, making this fossil not only visually striking but also essential for researchers studying dinosaur locomotion, growth patterns, and biomechanics. Its preservation reveals fine anatomical detail, allowing enthusiasts and scholars alike to appreciate the structure that powered this swift, lightweight dinosaur across the Morrison Formation roughly 150 million years ago.
Key Features:
-Authentic Dryosaurus altus femur fossil from the Late Jurassic
-Comes with a detailed Certificate of Authenticity
-Exceptionally rare ornithopod limb bone, seldom available on the market
-Offers valuable insight into dinosaur locomotion, growth, and evolutionary anatomy
-Strong surface detail and natural coloration
-Ideal for museum‑level displays, advanced collectors, and educational settings
-A scientifically significant piece from a sought‑after Morrison Formation dinosaur
Why This Fossil Matters
Because Dryosaurus was small and lightly built, its bones were less likely to fossilize intact. As a result, femora from this species are extraordinarily uncommon, making this specimen a standout opportunity for anyone seeking a fossil with both rarity and research value. Its combination of preservation, provenance, and scientific relevance makes it a compelling addition to any serious natural history collection.
