3.7" Fossil Theropod Dinosaur Vertebra - Montana
This is a 3.7" tall theropod vertebra with partially intact pedicles and some preserved cortical bone, collected from the Hell Creek Formation of Dawson County, Montana. It displays nicely on the included metal display stand.
There is significant weathering around the centrum of the vertebra. All of the processes have weathered away as well.

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.
