6.2" Fossil Dinosaur (Hadrosaur?) Transverse Process - South Dakota
This is a 6.2" long dinosaur vertebra process (transverse) that was collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Harding County, South Dakota. There are crack repairs through the process, some of which required minor gap fill restoration. It somewhat resembles the transverse processes from the dorsal vertebra of a Hadrosaur.
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.
