9" Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Metatarsal w/ Metal Stand - Wyoming
This is a 9" long metatarsal (foot bone) of a hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus annectens), collected from our partner's lease on the Lance (Creek) Formation in Wyoming. It is accompanied by the pictured custom metal display stand.
There are several repaired cracks through the diaphysis of this bone, most of which required some gap fill restoration where the bone crumbled away. The restoration makes up approximately 5-10% of the specimen.

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.
