2.1" Fossil Dinosaur Vertebra Centrum - Montana

Fossil Dinosaur Vertebra Centrum - Montana #246236

This is a 2.1" wide vertebra centrum from a dinosaur, collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Fallon County, Montana. The centrum has undergone some weathering. The lack of processes make it difficult to provide an accurate identification.

Because of its age and sedimentary composition, the Hell Creek Formation has become one of the most paleontologically studied areas in the world. 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants are known from the formation and new discoveries are made frequently. In addition to Tyrannosaurs, Ceratopsids, and Hadrosaurs, the formation has yielded remains of amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes and turtles, fish and sharks, avian and non-avian dinosaurs, and mammals. The Hell Creek Formation gives the most complete understanding of the environment just before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.
