18.4" Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Tibia Section - South Dakota
This is a 18.4" long Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) tibia section from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. The bone quality is good, with repairs and small gap fills one would expect for a surface find. This section is the distal end of the right tibia. It comes mounted on a custom base.
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.
