7" Fossil Iguanodon (Mantellisaurus) Vertebra - England

This is a vertebra of Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis, an Iguanodon known to have roamed Belgium, England, Spain and Germany. It was collected from the Isle of Wight in England and is 7" tall. This specimen consists of the centrum, the neural canal, part of the spinous process, and part of one of the transverse processes. There is some repair/restoration where the vertebra was compressed under the rock. The restoration was well handled and does not detract from this awesome specimen. British dinosaur material is extremely hard to come by and this is truly a fantastic collector piece.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
