.85" Fossil Dinosaur Phalanx Bone - Hell Creek Formation

Fossil Dinosaur Phalanx Bone - Hell Creek Formation #251939

This is a phalanx bone from a dinosaur, collected from the Hell Creek Formation near Jordan, Montana. The fossil is .85" long and is mostly complete. Comes with an acrylic display case.

Identifying isolated bones of this size and quality is often a shot in the dark. For this reason we have left is as unidentified.

The proximal half of the bone has several spots of gap fill restoration.

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.
