.85" Fossil Dinosaur Phalanx Bone - Hell Creek Formation

This is a phalanx bone from a dinosaur, collected from the Hell Creek Formation near Jordan, Montana. The fossil is .85" long and is mostly complete. Comes with an acrylic display case.

Identifying isolated bones of this size and quality is often a shot in the dark. For this reason we have left is as unidentified.

The proximal half of the bone has several spots of gap fill 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.
