SPECIAL! SPECIAL! VERY IMPRESSIVE, HUGE & VALUABLE, DEEP SET UK FOSSIL IGUANODON DINOSAUR NATURAL FOOT CAST - LAST OF THE BIG ONES!!!!
SERIOUS COLLECTOR MUSEUM DISPLAY PIECE - DEEP SET - VERY LARGE & HEAVY!
MEASURES APPROX. 16"X9"X6"
What we have here is a clear and uniquely preserved dinosaur track - fossil foot cast. This is a very impressive example for it's size. And this example has a very interesting feature that we have seen and documented on similar Iggy dinosaur foot casts in the past, tit has a very large central bump. Perhaps this indicate some kind of foot pad or common deformity, we don't really know. It is very prominent and interesting none the less. This is the last of the big foot cast (over 10 kg) that are of practical postable size. I have several larger ones but they are too heavy and too costly to post.
This is an actual cast of a foot that was made by a large Iguanodontid dinosaur. The fossil speaks for itself, it really is an amazing specimen and pretty valuable. Special museum, collector, valuable specimen.
I'm selling off some of the best specimens from my own private fossil collection collected over 28 years, keeping only a select few specimens for myself. Enquiries from museums, researchers and private collectors welcome.
A bit about myself: I really enjoy bringing these wonderful natural treasures of the earth to a wider audience, wonders that would probably never be seen otherwise, that would probably be left hidden and left to erode away to nothing if it were not for perseverance and a fascination for the natural world of people like myself and many others who can see things others can't, it is a gift and I am very grateful for it. Fossil hunters play an important role in discovery, and it is a good one, a positive role that naturally plays out in our local community and spreads to the wider community around the world. I hope this fossil and many others I have offered over the years have helped to inspire others to deeply appreciate nature and science and the natural wonders the world has to offer. Thank you to all those who have supported me and those who have shown understanding and kindness and appreciation towards me and my fossils - THANK YOU! Long may this special symbiotic relationship continue! :)
RESPONSIBLY COLLECTED: ALL MY FOSSILS HAVE BEEN LEGALLY AND ETHICALLY COLLECTED.
PIONEER COLLECTOR: DISCOVERER OF THE WORLD'S FIRST FOSSILISED DINOSAUR BRAIN AND THE WORLD'S OLDEST SPIDERS WEB TRAPPED IN AMBER. MY PERSONAL DRIVE AND AMBITION HAS LED TO THESE NEW DISCOVERIES AND THE DISCOVERY OF THIS EXCITING NEWLY AVAILABLE MATERIAL.
ENQUIRIES FROM MUSEUMS AND RESEARCHERS WELCOME. SOLID PROVENANCE

Self collected fossil. Entirely self-funded researcher. I have a genuine passion for fossils and am a life-long advocate of responsible collecting, my palaeo work is testament to this. My main interest is fossils related to the English Wealden. Discovering fossils and presenting my discoveries to the general public is my vocation. I am founder of West Parade Fossils, an entirely self-funded private enterprise. Find frequency is low. Fact: It is notoriously difficult to find fossils at this locality. Any commercial operator would go bust in a couple of months!
Revenue raised from this discovery will allow me to continue working on other research projects. For example, British dinosaur age amber is something I am currently working on. A preliminary search of this amber lead me to discover the world‘s oldest preserved spiders web, dated at around 140 million years old. Discovery of the spiders web in amber was reported in the global media. But this ancient amber has the potential to reveal a vast eco-system of new species including micro-organisms, plants and small animals - insects mostly. However, this will take time and requires proper funding. Being entirely self-funded, offering fossils like this allows me to focus on my studies and continue my passion on a proper full time basis.
