Discover the bones and sickle-like claw of the deadly raptor

Experience the excitement of discovery like a real paleontologist! Buried inside earth-colored, hard plaster are the "fossilized bones" of Deinonychus, the small but deadly raptor who, alongside its pack, could bring down and devour a dinosaur much larger than itself. When unearthed, Deinonychus skeleton is displayed in the "ground", complete with its extraordinary sickle-like toe claw. This incredible dig simulates the real thing as the "paleontologist" carefully chips, scrapes and brushes away plaster to reveal, bit by bit, the remains of this Cretaceous predator.

Use authentic archaeological tools to carefully chip, scrape, and brush away plaster and reveal a museum quality replica.

When your excavation is complete, the plastic tray serves as a frame to display your find on a wall or shelf.

Deinonychus Excavation kit comes with:

• dinosaur 'fossil' in plaster block
• two steel chisels
• one steel hammer and pick instrument
• brush
• sponge
• plastic tray
• instruction sheet including actual dinosaur excavation facts.
