6.5" Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) Anterior Caudal Vertebra - Wyoming
This is a nice, 6.5" tall, anterior caudal vertebra of a hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus annectens), collected from our partner's lease on the Lance (Creek) Formation in Niobrara County, Wyoming.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
Both prezygapophyses are in excellent condition. The centrum has undergone some fragmentation in spots, requiring glue stabilization. The transverse processes and spinous process were all missing upon collection.

Hadrosaurs
are frequently referred to as duck-billed dinosaurs and are members of the Ornithischian family Hadrosauridae. They were fairly common herbivores that roamed Asia, Europe, and North America during the Upper Cretaceous Period. Many species of Hadrosaurs had distinctive crests on their heads, some of which had air-filled chambers that may have produced a distinct sound. These crests may have been used for both audio and visual display purposes.
