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.

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.
