Sauropod Leg Bone
Brachiosaurus

Massive Sauropod Upper Leg Bone Brachiosaurus Jurassic Northwest Africa Unlike other dinosaurs, and even other brachiosaurids, Brachiosaurus' front legs were longer than its hind legs, which provides an explanation for the stunning size of the present humerus (front upper leg bone) specimen. One of the tallest and largest dinosaurs yet found – a sauropod grew up to 50 feet in height and 85 feet in length – Brachiosaurus' giraffe-like stance was produced by the length of its front legs combined with the length of its neck. Its silhouette, engrained in the popular imagination, featured a very long neck, a small head and a relatively short, thick tail. An herbivore, it probably ate vegetation from the tops of trees, using its chisel-shaped teeth. A healthy adult Brachiosaurus, which would have weighed up to 88 tons, probably feared no predators. The largest-known meat-eaters of its time, Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus and Torvosaurus, were less than half its size. The present specimen is a massive Brachiosaurus humerus (front upper leg bone) measuring over six feet in length. Offered on a custom steel stand. Measures 76in

Mounted Dinosaur Skeleton
Psittacosaurus
Central Asia
Cretaceous
34 1/2 inches long
Psittacosaurus Mounted Skeleton Psittacosaurus meileyingensis Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation Gobi Desert A lively, fast-moving dinosaur, Psittacosaurus (meaning parrot lizard) is aptly named. Its beak-like mouth, displaying only cheek teeth toward the rear, is remarkably bird-like in appearance. Psittacosaurs were believed to have exhibited herding behavior. They are unlike other members of the Ceratopsia group (such as Triceratops and Protoceratops) in that they possessed no horns. The genus lived 97.5 - 119 million years ago. Mounted in an expressive three-dimensional crouching pose, the present specimen is about 10 percent restored. The skull exhibits fine teeth. Offered on an oak base.

French Dinosaur Egg Clutch
Hypselosaurus
Var, Aix en Province, France
Maastrichtian, Late Cretaceous
55 x 43 x 18in; Largest egg measures 8 1/2 in
This dinosaur egg clutch comprises one of the most plentiful examples of this species of dinosaur egg found in Southern France during the 1980's. Hypselosaurus is closely related to Apatosaurus; it is a plant-eating dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous sediments near Var, France. The mere size and the nearly spherical shape of these eggs evidences the immense size of their quadripedal parents; it is speculated that an adult Hypselosaurus could attain a weight of nearly 20,000 pounds. Each egg measures nearly twelve inches in diameter. Most of the shell of these specimens is intact. Provenance: Siebo Museum, Tokyo, Japan.
