They are immediately familiar from the sail-like structure formed by extensions from their vertebrae. Whether these protrusions were covered with muscle or simply skin is a matter of some debate. This is the tip of the lower jaw and boasts three good teeth; on the jaw itself one can still see the holes where veins and arteries went through the bone. It measures 6 x 7½ x 2¼ inches.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
