Tyrannosaurus rex - ulna (forearm)

Dating to the Cretaceous, from Hell Creek, Montana, USA.

Known for its' massive size, HUGE dagger teeth & remarkably small forelimbs, T. rex is THE most desirable dinosaur species representing excellent investment potential.

The latest complete T. rex sold for $8.4 million.

THE ULNA

Exposed and weathering on the surface, a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur skeleton lay trampled underfoot by cattle, oblivious to the priceless treasure awaiting discovery.

Parts of the massive beast lay beneath the ground - various elements of the dinosaur however were visible strewn across the surface.

Some of the priceless bones had already been destroyed before excavation by the changeable, unforgiving weather and cattle hooves.

By the time the 'King of dinosaurs' was found, the skull was smashed with fragments littered over the arid ground and the skeleton, disarticulate.

MIRACULOUSLY PRESERVED

Remains of this highly sought after treasure trove, revealed a partial adult Tyrannosaurus rex including skull remnants, teeth, limbs, claws, ribs, vertebrae and more.

Amongst the debris of the massive fossilized beast was a near complete bone from the dinosaurs' forearm.

With excellent preservation of the proximal articulation with the humerus, this stunning and unspeakably rare bone has fossilized with wonderful solid preservation.

Gorgeous, rich, almost black coloration is offset by the lighter hues of the outer layers of bone.

The rarity of this piece is unquestionable - the only one available in the world for collector purchase and from THE most desired dinosaur!

TYRANNOSAURUS REX

Recent studies have proven that the forearm of T. rex was used in the transition from rest to a bipedal posture.

The dinosaurs' weight, at rest, was supported by the pubic 'boot' - transition from rest to standing was facilitated by the forearms.

Without the forearms to provide the necessary stabilization and thrust, Tyrannosaurus rex could not recover from a resting position.

In short - the apparently useless 'puny' forelimbs, were in fact, essential to the dinosaurs' survival.

Quite simply, if a break occurred to any elements (including ulna) of just one forelimb, it is unlikely the dinosaur could survive, being unable to ever recover from rest!

Now available at a fraction of the cost of the $8.4 million for the most recent complete T. rex!
