Superbly Preserved Hadrosaur Vertebra - Montana

This is an extremely well preserved Hadrosaur vertebra from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group) of Eastern Montana. There are several known Hadrosaurs from this formation including Brachylophosaurus, Kritosaurus and Lambeosaurus, but you couldn't accurately assign an isolated vert like this to a specific genus.

The process is intact and it has almost no erosion and a beautiful surface. The multi-toned color is due to the fact that it was found with one half buried and one half exposed, the lighter side is the side that was exposed to the elements. There are a few repairs where it was pieced back together but no restoration.
