Nicely Preserved Triceratops Vertebra

This is a nicely preserved vertebra from one of most well known dinosaurs, Triceratops. It comes from the Hell Creek Formation in Butte County Montana. It was collected at a well known commercial quarry which represents a 66 million year old river channel deposit.

This vertabra has some repaired cracks and minor restoration to fill in gaps in some of these cracks and stabilize the bone.
