2.1" Hadrosaur Vertebra Centrum with Stand - Montana
This is a 2.1" tall Hadrosaur vertebra centrum from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana. It was collected this last spring and has been nicely prepared from the hard rock surrounding it. The processes have weathered away, making it difficult to provide an accurate genus for this Hadrosaur vertebra.
Comes with the pictured custom metal display stand.

About The Two Medicine Formation
The Two Medicine Formation is a geographical formation in Central Montana and Southern Alberta, Canada. The formation is predominantly sandstone laid down by rivers and deltas during the Campanian Age of the Cretaceous, about 80-75 million years ago. Approximately two thousand feet thick on the western edge, it lies on top of the Virgelle Sandstone formation and under the Bearpaw Shale. It is located between the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and the Sweetgrass Arch, a tectonic fold feature 40-90 miles east of the Front Range.
The Two Medicine is the same age as the Judith River Formation found further east. It was laid down further inland from the Western Interior Seaway, while the Judith River Formation was deposited along the coast. The Two Medicine contains much of the same dinosaur fauna, but fewer reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic fossils.
