2" Fossil Theropod (Tyrannosaur) Vertebra - Aguja Formation, Texas

Fossil Theropod (Tyrannosaur) Vertebra - Aguja Formation, Texas #116530

This is a 2.0" long fossil theropod vertebra collected this past spring from the Aguja Formation in Texas. It is in good condition with wear at the margins. it is likely, this is a caudal (tail) vertebra.
There are a number of undescribed Tyrannosaurs from the Aguja Formation and this bone is likely from one of them.

This specimen was collected within the past year on private deeded property in Brewster County, Texas. You won't see any other dinosaur material from the Aguja and Javelina Formations for sale because nearly all of the formations lie within the boundaries of Big Bend National Park, where fossils may not be collected, or in Mexico, where fossils cannot be commercially traded. One of our partners was lucky enough to purchase several hundred acres of ranch land in Texas containing a good exposure of these formations, and we will be offering more material from the locality in the future.
