Gilmore in 1924. It had a bird-like appearance with proto-feathers, and a crest or casque on its head. This particular claw was retrieved from the famous Hell Creek Formation, near Baker, Montana just this past summer. It is in excellent condition with no restoration and measures 2¼ inches in length along the curve.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
