Partial .9" Dinosaur Caudal Vertebra - Hell Creek, North Dakota

This is a .9" long, partial caudal vertebra of a dinosaur from the Hell Creek Formation of Bowman County, North Dakota. The lack of a processes and bone present makes it difficult to provide identification to an isolated vertebra such as this.

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.
