Description
“DUCK-BILLED” DINOSAUR VERTEBRAE
Edmontosaurus sp.
Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian stage
Hell Creek Formation, Wibaux Co., mid-eastern Montana
3.25” X 2.75” X 3.5”
Good Condition
Authenticated by noted natural history authority David Herskowitz
This well-preserved specimen is the centrum of a tail vertebrae of a Hadrosaur, the Edmontosaurus. The hadrosauridae were large duck-billed herbivores who roamed the plains of Asia, Europe and North America during the Upper Cretaceous period 99-65 million years ago. Their flattened, duck-like "beaks" were ideal for clipping twigs and vegetation, while their strong forearms could be used equally well for pulling down branches to within reach, or for walking or running on all fours from the fearsome predators that shared their habitat (most notably the Albertosaurus). The vertebrae centrum represented in this lot measures 3.5 in Diameter.
