Dinosaur Bones

  • Dinosaur Bones (D1)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This is a very well preserved neural arch and process of a cervical vertebrae, probably about midway down the neck of a hadrosaur (bipedal) dinosaur. The centrum is not present. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This exceptional piece has no reconstruction.

     

    SIZE: 5″ x 5″ x 3″

     

    NAME: Edmontosaurus
    AGE: Cretaceous Period – 68 million years
    UNIT: Lance Creek Formation
    SITE: Lance Creek, Wyoming
    Location: Blue Crate
    DATE: 1992

     

    Documentation: This authentic fossil specimen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and Origin.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D2)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The asymmetry here indicates this was likely a toe on the right side of the animal. The fine detail on the bone surface is exquisite and remarkably well preserved. This piece has no reconstruction.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D3)

    Notes specific to this specimen: Commonly called the “hoof” of a hadrosaur – in this case Edmontosaurus – this is the end bone of a pes digit (toe). In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.

  • Dinosaur Bones (D4)

    Notes specific to this specimen: This is a distal manus digit (“finger”) bone of Edmontosaurus. In vertebrates, the ends of the front appendages are called the “manus” (aka hand) while the back are called the “pes” (aka foot). The fine detail on the bone surface is remarkably well preserved. This piece has a small amount of reconstruction as shown in the dark paleoclay area.
