Description

Tarchia sp.
Late Cretaceous
Nemegt Formation
Gobi Desert Mongolia

Partial foot with five metacarpals. Very rare. Each bone is
approximately 120mm, all five together span about 350mm across.

Ankylosaur. Ankylosauridae. Dinosaur.

Tarchia was one of the last and the largest ankylosaurs. It lived during the last five million years of the Cretaceous Period.

Some collectors might have a tooth but this group of metacarpals is a little more of a display piece and certainly for someone wanting something different for their collection especially with that unusually light-colored preservation.
