16.2" Hadrosaur (Hypacrosaurus) Ulna with Metal Stand - Montana

This is a really cool, 16.2" long Hadrosaur (Hypacrosaurus sp.) ulna bone from the right arm, collected from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana. It was collected this last spring and has been nicely prepared from the hard rock surrounding it. There are multiple repaired cracks through the diaphysis, some of which required minor gap fill restoration. Each end of the bone underwent some weathering, with crack repair required along the medial proximal process. Otherwise this bone is excellent condition!

Comes with the pictured custom metal display stand.

Hypacrosaurus is a very large, Lambeosaurini Hadrsosaur that would have been almost as large as the Tyrannosaurs that it lived alongside. Like Corythosaurus, it had a tall, hollow, rounded crest, although not as large and straight. It is known from the remains of two species that spanned 75 to 67 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, and Montana, United States, and is the latest hollow-crested duckbill known from good remains in North America. It is estimated to have been around 9.1 meters (30 feet) long and to have weighed up to 4-5 tons.
