3.6" Fossil Iguanodon (Mantillisaurus) Caudal Vertebra - England

This is a caudal vertebra of Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis, an Iguanodon known to have roamed Belgium, England, Spain and Germany. It was collected from the Isle of Wight in England and is 3.6" tall. The spinous process is missing, however both anterior articular facets remained intact. Rock has been left within/around the neural canal to provide additional support to the pedicles. There is no repair or restoration to the vertebra. British dinosaur material is extremely hard to come by and this is a fantastic collector piece.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
