4.8" Fossil Crocodylomorph Humerus w/ Metal Stand - South Dakota

Here's a 4.8" long partial humerus bone from a Late Cretaceous-aged crocodylomorph. It was collected from the Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota.

The bone displays nicely on the accompanied 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.
