Iguanodon Bone Segment

Product description

A large piece of Dinosaur bone from an Iguanodon. It was discovered on the Isle of Wight, UK, and dates from the Cretaceous Period, 135m to 125m years ago.
 
It probably belonged to the best described Iguanodon, bemissartensis, and grew up to 30 feet long, weighing in at 4 tons.
Iguanodon was one of the first scientifically well known Dinosaurs, and were herbivores, and herding animals.
 
They had a flat, stiff tail, with three toed hind feet, and four fingers on the front legs. In addition they had a spike on their arms, probably used in defence, and also for foraging.
They had a toothless beak, but numerous cheek teeth to grind up the coarse vegetation on which they lived.
 
This bone segment is thought to be from a rear leg.
 
A fantastic piece for a Dinosaur enthusiast.
It can be mounted if requested by the purchaser.
