2.9" Fossil Dromaeosaur Femur Section w/ Metal Stand - South Dakota
This is a 2.9" long fossil dromaeosaurid dinosaur femur (upper leg) bone section from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. There are a couple of repaired cracks through this bone. It is accompanied by the pictured metal display stand.
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.
