3" Fossil Dromaeosaurid Rib Section w/ Metal Stand - South Dakota
This is a 3" wide fossil dromaeosaurid dinosaur rib section from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. It is accompanied by the pictured metal display stand. There are multiple dromaeosaurid species documented from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota, so providing an accurate species to an isolated bone such as this is more guesswork than anything, therefore we have left its identification as indeterminate dromaeosaurid.
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.
