Description
- 285 cm
Ce dinosaure géant mesurait 8 mètres de haut, pour 21 mètres de long et pesait jusqu'à 30 tonnes. On en a donc une bonne évocation avec cette patte monstrueuse qui file vers le ciel, tel un totem. Pièce rare.
Condition
Wooden mahogany base in very good condition. All bones are genuine and from the same specimen. Cracks visible on the image are naturals and come from the fossilization and sediments. It does not change with the times. Tiny restorations on the edge of two phalanges. Very impresive specimen.
