7.2" Fossil Dinosaur Bone Section - North Dakota

Fossil Dinosaur Bone Section - North Dakota #237675

This is a 7.2" wide section of dinosaur bone from the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota. Based on abundance and the location of collection, it's very likely that this either came from Edmontosaurus or Triceratops. That being said, with such little bone present, it's difficult to provide an accurate bone identification.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
