Solid Edmontosaurus (Hadrosaur) Vertebrae - Montana

This is a nice tail vertebrae of the Hadrosaur, Edmontosaurus annectens. It was quarried from the Hell Creek Formation in Carter County, Montana. The vert is very heavy and solid with a partial process still attached (they usually are broken off). It's been stabilized but there is no restoration. A great dinosaur bone for the price.

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.
