11.8" Long Diplodocus Vertebrae On Stand - Wyoming

This is a 11.8" long, caudal (tail) vertebrae of the sauropod dinosaur Diplodocus. It was collected this past spring from our partners quarry in Big Horn County, Wyoming. It comes with a custom metal display stand.

Restoration is pretty minimal compared to most dinosaur material, with only some surface restoration on the edges of both ends of the centrum that had some erosion and the ends of the small articular processes.
