Huge Trio of Dinosaur Bones. This huge 22 x 17.5 x 5 inch natural sandstone block contains many bones and teeth of the famous duckbilled dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens. Edmontosaurus was a favorite food choice for a T-Rex and lived in herds. This well-preserved collage of bones resulted from the dinosaur being quickly buried under mud in a river or stream and remaining undisturbed for 66-67 million years until being found on a private ranch in the Lance Creek Formation of Niobrara County, Wyoming many years ago. The museum quality slab consists of a huge, complete 22 inch long humerus arm bone and 7 inch long tarsal and 8 inch long metatarsal foot bones. In addition, there are over six teeth up to one inch long and many fragmented strut bones. The bone quality of the three main bones is outstanding, with just a few minor cracks filled on the humerus. The large humerus and tarsal bones have a complete 3D look, being visible both front and back, just being connected to the matrix on their bottom sides. Most of the matrix has been expertly removed, with the entire display being only 5 inches wide and standing on its own with a flat bottom.
