4" Fossil Dinosaur Caudal Vertebra - Montana
This is a 4" tall dinosaur caudal vertebra, collected from the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation in Fallon County, Montana. Isolated vertebrae can be difficult to identify, especially when they have unusual morphologies. The oval shape of the centrum is fairly uncommon, hence our genus/species uncertainty.
Comes with an acrylic display stand.
There is a glue stabilized crack through the centrum and a repair through each pedicle. The spinous process has several repaired cracks and areas of gap fill restoration.

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.
