A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils accompanies this specimen. Also a free nice stand. Here is a superb toe bone from an Edmontosaurus, a Hadrosaur dinosaur from the Cretaceous, 74 to 66 million years ago, the last age of the Dinosaurs.
It is from the Hell Creek Formation in western South Dakota. It is in remarkable condition (photos), measuring about 2.26 inches and weighing 1.3 oz.
This is one single piece, not multiple pieces glued together. No paint or restoration has been used. 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.

You will receive the exact item described and photographed, unless clearly stated otherwise. 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. If you take it out of the United States, you are on your own. You may see a sentence regarding?
