This is one of three \"phalanx I\" digits in the foot and is the largest toe bone. Its size speaks to the amount of weight this robust bone had to support! Shockingly, even with their dense bone structure and giant size, these are quite uncommon to find (I have only collected a handful in 30 years). Note the colour change occurring diagonally across the bone; this indicates that it was partially exposed and had bleached to a lighter colour, while the buried portion was protected and retained its darker brown shade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvey Negrich Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, its substantial size and preserved joint contours make it an engaging display specimen for a collection focused on dinosaur anatomy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLegal Status:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This specimen is legally available for private ownership and resale under Alberta Disposition Certificate #001590.
