Fossil Dinosaur Edmontosaurus Jawbone denture Hell Creek South Dakota COA 5025
A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils accompanies this specimen. Plus a free "floating" display stand. Here is a large segment of a jawbone denture bone from an Edmontosaurus, a Hadrosaur.
Dinosaur from the Cretaceous, 74 to 66 million years ago, the last age of the Dinosaurs. Multiple vertical tooth rows are clearly visible. Hell Creek Formation, of western South Dakota. It is in remarkable condition (photos), measuring about. 2.75 inches using calipers.
When a dinosaur bone is discovered in the ground, it usually has multiple cracks and/or separations in it, a result of millions of years of pressure, temperature, etc. The excavator puts paleo glue on the piece to keep it together, so it does not fall all over upon removal from the ground. This is not considered damage with dinosaur bones. In fact, it is standard procedure. That appears to be the case here. The Hadrosaurs are also known as duck-billed dinosaurs, because of the shape of their heads. The Edmontosaurus is the most famous of the hadrosaurs. Many years ago, they were referred to as Trachodon, but that name is no longer widely used. An outstanding addition to an advanced fossil collection, or anyone really interested in dinosaurs.

In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not so much. We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA's: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the specimens. We have been working with fossils and minerals for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA's, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. Finally, a COA, without a photo of the exact specimen on the COA itself, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral. We suggest that in addition to relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject. We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us always.
