6" Fossil Dinosaur Bone Section - North Dakota

This is a 6" wide section of dinosaur bone from the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota. Based on abundance and the location of collection, it's very likely that this either came from Edmontosaurus or Triceratops. It appears to be the proximal end of a rib that would have articulated with the vertebrae, however its tough to tell.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

There is some repair along the thinnest portions of the bone, along with some restoration.

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.
