5" Dinosaur Calcaneum (Heel Bone) - Montana
This is a 5" wide calcaneum (heel bone) from an indeterminate species of dinosaur, collected from our partner's lease on the Hell Creek Formation in Dawson County, Montana. Based on abundance it's likely from Edmontosaurus, however it's tough to know for sure.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
There is some repair work and minor gap fill restoration along one edge of the bone.

Because of its age and sedimentary composition, the Hell Creek Formation has become one of the most paleontologically studied areas in the world. 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants are known from the formation and new discoveries are made frequently. In addition to Tyrannosaurs, Ceratopsids, and Hadrosaurs, the formation has yielded remains of amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes and turtles, fish and sharks, avian and non-avian dinosaurs, and mammals. The Hell Creek Formation gives the most complete understanding of the environment just before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.
