A near complete Spinosaurus Leg

[Phos_01]

I wanted to share this right leg Spinosaurus leg. its not everyday this comes up just for discussion. I know there a few things wrong with it, but I still felt it was interesting enough to share. 

For one thing its missing the upper inside toe that is located higher then its three main toes. And of course its composited with parts of different animals, that is always the case .  It also seems like some of the proportions and position are off. 

Sized at 40 x 38 x 130 cm (discription)

Unfortunately not only is it missing Digit I the phalanges are not accurate and in the wrong positions. They just took a bunch of phalanges and made them look like digits, very deceptive or completely clueless.  It's a pretty bad composite all around and thats an understatement.   The femur is the only nice big bone.  Hard to tell but looks like two similar bones put together to look like Tib/Fib and they should not be visibly longer than femur..

I agree. Its also a small leg , perhaps its Sigilmassasaurus who knows. 

 

That said, I enjoyed seeing it, its something else then fake claws and tooth, altough this is far from good.

This is normal, they are almost never found from the same animal every arm or feet you see is composed from different animals, its due to do the way they dig they told me. 

This makes it harder to form an accurate reconstruction, finding the right bones and proportions

oh yes, I think so...., most of the skeletons and legs I have seen had been done with bones from different animals (or genus...), for me different color is first indicator that I see bones from more than one individual.

But, nevertheless, it is a nice leg for display and demonstration
