Very Rare Stegosaurus Vertebra - Wyoming
Stegosaurus is a relatively rare dinosaur, and any Stegosaurus material is very tough to find. This is 7.8" tall Stegosaurus vertebrae from the historic Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming.
It is complete and comes with a custom, metal display stand. There is some repair and surface restoration to the specimen but this is typical of most dinosaur bones. You simply won't ever see much Stegosaurus material for sale, particularly material with good provenance from a locality with historical significance.
The Bone Cabin Quarry has historical significance because it was discovered in 1897 and excavated by the American Museum of Natural History from 1898 through 1905. It lies near the famous Como Bluff and got it's name from a nearby sheepherder's cabin built entirely out of fossil dinosaur bones. This quarry now lies on private land, where it has continued to be excavated.

Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs in the world due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates along its back. So far, 3 species have been described from the Upper Morrison Formation, and it has been in the news quite a bit lately due to "Sophie" the Stegosaurus at the London Natural History Museum. Stegosaurus is the state fossil of Colorado.
