4.6" Fossil Crocodilian Femur - Hell Creek Formation
This is a nicely preserved, 4.6" long fossil crocodile femur from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. It's pretty solid with only a few crack repairs and minimal erosion to the ends of the bone. Because there are several crocodilians from this formation, we can't ID it down to a species level.
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.
