- Lot Description
North America, Montana, Powderville, Powder River, Hell Creek Formation, Cretaceous period, ca. 70 to 65.5 Million years ago. A massive example of a fossilized tibia bone from the exceedingly rare Edmontosaurus (Edmontosaurus anatotitan). The bone is elongated and formed part of a back leg; the narrow end forming the ankle, and the larger knobbed end the knee joint. The tibia, being approximately half the length of the leg, gives a great idea of the sheer size of these dinosaurs. As the name suggests, anatotitan was a titan of a beast; the legs supported a body that could be nearly 35 feet long and weigh over 4 tons. The surface has developed a lovely umber brown hue from the fossilization process. Edmontosaurus were a species of duck billed dinosaur and their name means the "lizard of Edmonton" after the capital city of the province where they were first unearthed. This tibia is one of the largest we have ever seen from this rare dinosaur! Size: 38" L x 11" W (96.5 cm x 27.9 cm); 42" H (106.7 cm) on included custom stand.j
