7.4" Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Astragalus (Ankle Bone) - Wyoming

This is a 7.4" wide astragalus (ankle bone) from the left leg of a hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus annectens), collected from our partner's lease on the Lance (Creek) Formation in Niobrara County, Wyoming.

Comes with an acrylic/metal display stand.

The bone has undergone some weathering and there is a repaired crack with some minor gap fill restoration.

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.
