Fossil Dinosaur Hadrosaur Toe Bone Horseshoe Canyon F. Alberta Canada COA 4059

A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies this specimen. Here is a nice toe bone from a Hadrosaur. Dinosaur from the Cretaceous, 74 to 66 million years ago, the last age of the Dinosaurs. Horseshoe Canyon Formation in Alberta, Canada. It is in remarkable condition (photos), measuring about.

No paint or restoration has been added. 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. An outstanding addition to an advanced fossil collection, or anyone really interested in dinosaurs. Alberta has strict rules governing the export of dinosaur bones. Fossils may not be removed from the province of Alberta without government permission.

This requires getting a Disposition Certificate from the government. Dinosaur bones found today are generally not eligible. This specimen is part of a collection of dinosaur material that was collected many years ago, before these laws were in effect.

Therefore, the collection was "grandfathered" in. The collection was reviewed by the Royal Tyrrell Museum and a disposition certificate issued for portions of it that were not considered scientifically significant.

This allowed the fossils to leave Alberta. The disposition certificate (#000028-29) is on file with the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Drumheller, Alberta. 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 item on the COA itself. Is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral. We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.

We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us always. We cordially invite you to visit our store, and see items and fossils ranging from budget to world-class. You will receive the exact item described and photographed, unless clearly stated otherwise.

If you like what we have to offer, PLEASE favorite us! It is the easiest way for you to look us up. In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not so much. If you take it out of the United States, you are on your own.
