Visit Australia’s only skeleton of Lightning Claw, a carnivorous large-clawed dinosaur discovered by opal miners in Lightning Ridge, NSW. It is the largest predatory dinosaur yet identified from Australia, and only the second theropod known from more than a single element. Through a collaboration between palaeontologists, the Australian Opal Centre and Australian Age of Dinosaurs, and a talented artist, Lightning Claw was recreated as a 3D printed skeleton.
