1.6" Fossil Theropod Caudal Vertebra - Hell Creek Formation
This is a 1.6", theropod caudal vertebra centrum from the Hell Creek Formation. It is in very good condition. It is likely that this vertebra is from near the middle of the tail. It is possible this vertebra is from the tail of Thescelosaurus but a definitive identification from a single vertebra is difficult.
The Hell Creek Formation
Renowned for both its age and rich sedimentary layers, the Hell Creek Formation is one of the most intensively studied fossil-bearing regions on Earth. To date, scientists have documented 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants from its rocks, with new finds emerging regularly. Beyond iconic dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, ceratopsians, and hadrosaurs, the formation has produced an extraordinary array of life, including amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, fish, sharks, birds, and early mammals. Together, these fossils provide the most complete picture of the ecosystems that thrived just before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
