6.9" Fossil Theropod (Raptor) Fibula - Dawson County, Montana
This is a nicely preserved, 6.9" long fibula (lower leg bone) of an unidentified theropod (raptor) dinosaur from the Hell Creek Formation of Dawson County, Montana. There are three repaired cracks through the bone and the distal end (~1.7") is restored. Often isolated bones are very difficult to ID to a specific genus and that is the case with this one.
Comes with a riker mount display case.

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.
