26" Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Humerus - North Dakota

Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Humerus - North Dakota #119602

This is a 26" long Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) humerus from the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota. It was collected this past summer by one of our parters, prepared and mounted on a custom metal stand. It's a great looking display.

Like most dinosaur bones there are quite a few crack repairs with gap fills, along with some surface restoration on one end.

Hadrosaurs

are frequently referred to as duck-billed dinosaurs and are members of the Ornithischian family Hadrosauridae. They were fairly common herbivores that roamed Asia, Europe, and North America during the Upper Cretaceous Period. Many species of Hadrosaurs had distinctive crests on their heads, some of which had air-filled chambers that may have produced a distinct sound. These crests may have been used for both audio and visual display purposes.
