7.3" Dinosaur (Tyrannosaurus Rex) Cervical Vertebra - Montana
This is rare find from the Hell Creek Formation of eastern Montana. It's a 7.3" wide, cervical vertebra centrum from the King of Dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex. Given the shape this vertebra, it would have come from the neck of a large theropod dinosaur. Being that Tyrannosaurus rex is the dominant large theropod of the Hell Creek Formation, it's safe to say the vertebra is accurately described. While it is fairly weathered, there is no repair or restoration to this vertebra. There is some cortical bone preserved within a depression along one side of the vertebra.
Comes with an acrylic/metal display stand.

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.
