Fossil Dinosaur Hadrosaur Phalange Cretaceous Horseshoe Canyon Alberta Canada

Description

A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies this specimen.
Here is a large segment of a rib bone from a Hadrosaur
dinosaur from the Cretaceous, 74 to 66 million years ago, the last age of the Dinosaurs.
It is from the
Horseshoe Canyon Formation, Drumheller Valley, Alberta, Canada.
It is in remarkable condition (photos), measuring about
.85 inches.
The Hadrosaurs are also known as duck-billed dinosaurs, because of the shape of their heads. They were herbivores.
An outstanding addition to an advanced fossil collection, or anyone really interested in dinosaurs.
Alberta has strict rules governing the export of dinosaur bones.
Fossils may not be removed from the province of Alberta without government permission. This requires getting a Disposition Certificate from the government. Dinosaur bones found today are generally not eligible.
This specimen is part of a collection of dinosaur material that was collected many years ago, before these laws were in effect. Therefore, the collection was "grandfathered" in. The collection was reviewed by the Royal Tyrrell Museum and a disposition certificate issued for portions of it that were not considered scientifically significant. This allowed the fossils to leave Alberta. The disposition certificate (#000028-29) is on file with the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Drumheller, Alberta.
