Gallimimus

Product description

Gallimimus, from the Greek meaning "chicken or rooster mimic" is a genus of ornithomimid theropod dinosaur.
This fossilised hindlimb & tail were discovered in the Nemegt Formation, Mongolia, and date from the Late Cretaceous, 75m to 70m years ago.
 
A fully grown adult Gallimimus would be 25 feet in length & around 6 feet at the hip. It was a fast runner, up to 25 mph, thanks to its powerful hind limbs. It had a thin, flattened, horny beak, a small head, and very good vision. Despite a small head, it had a relatively large brain , and was amongst the more intelligent of the dinosaurs.
 
Gallimimus is thought to have preyed upon other small vertebrates, eggs, and insects.
 
On offer is a complete, intact, hind limb and complete tail from Gallimimus. In addition there is an Ischium, several ribs, & a scapula still in matrix.
All these are from the same creature. The foot is complete with all claws and articulated digits
It is not a composite.
 
Seldom are such fossils seen for sale, and this is a wonderful oportunity to own a partial dinosaur of such quality.
 
This will make a superb mounted display. Please ask for details. What a talking point it would be in the home, or office foyer.
 
These creatures were shown in the first Jurassic Park film, flocking together, escaping from a predator
 
Size:   Extremely large with the tail alone being 7 feet in length.
