Raptor Bone - 1.552" Fossil Fragment rockinaboxginkgo As he looked at itOne of the most iconic dinosaurs of the Mesozoic, Dromaeosauridae (AKA Raptors) were fast moving, carnivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Cretaceous. With their delicate bones and possible flight abilities, it's speculated that Dromaeosauridae are closely related to modern birds. This specimen is a 1. 552" piece of fossilized Raptor Bone from the Hell Creek Formation. It comes complete with a photo card that serves as statement of authenticity.
