14" Hadrosaur (Hypacrosaur) Vertebra With Stand - Montana

This is a really cool 14" wide Hadrosaur (Hypacrosaur) vertebra from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana. It was collected this summer and nicely prepared from the hard rock surrounding it. Comes with the pictured metal display stand.

There are some crack repairs in the processes with small gap fills and a little bit of restoration or erosion around the edge but nothing major.

Hypacrosaurus is a very large, Lambeosaurini Hadrsosaur that would have been almost as large as the Tyrannosaurs that it lived alongside. Like Corythosaurus, it had a tall, hollow, rounded crest, although not as large and straight. It is known from the remains of two species that spanned 75 to 67 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, and Montana, United States, and is the latest hollow-crested duckbill known from good remains in North America. It is estimated to have been around 9.1 meters (30 feet) long and to have weighed up to 4-5 tons.
