8.45" Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Metacarpal - Wyoming
This is a 8.45" long metacarpal (hand) bone of a hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus annectens), collected from our partner's lease on the Lance (Creek) Formation in Niobrara County, Wyoming. It would have articulated with the second or fourth finger, though it's tough to tell with the missing proximal end.
There is a repaired crack through the middle of the diaphysis that required some gap fill restoration. The distal epiphysis is weathered.

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.
