Daspletosaurus sp. “Sir William”

Locality: Collected in the Judith River Formation deposits of Montana.

Description: Approximately 36 feet (10.6m) long and 10 feet (3m) high at the hips.

Comments: Excavation of this very large theropod began in the fall of 2002 and continued during 2003 and 2004. We have obtained between 30-40% of the body from one end of the animal to the other, including many skull elements, scapula-coracoid, gastralia and ribs, femur, partial tibia, several vertebrae, ischium and more. The skull of this find suggests a more “Tyrannosaurus-like” animal than D. torosus, possibly indicating an intermediate form between D. torosus and T. rex. This may well be a new species.

Basic preparation is finished. Restoration will commence once prep on Pete III is done.

Availability: Delivery 12 months from date of acquisition.

Price:

$935,000 prepared, not mounted.

$1,925,000 for the mounted original skeleton, restored.
