Description

This is a section of a Cretaceous Dinosaur Fossil Bone Fragment.

This one was found by famed paleontologist Walter Stein at one of his leased dig sites outside Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The bone is stabilized and is 5 3/4 inches long..

The Cretaceous Genuine Dinosaur Fossil Bone Fragment  comes from a bone collected legally on a ranch within the Badlands of South Dakota. Because the badlands have little vegetation, when it rains, the rains wash away sediment.  So when prospecting bone fragments as well as turtle shell, fish scales and other fossils are exposed. This fragment is a piece of Genuine Dinosaur Bone from the Cretaceous Period. There are many bone fragments found while prospecting. When the bone is exposed to the elements it begins to decay. Because this decay is rapid, a dinosaur bone may fall into dust in just a few years. This bone is also called float because it “floats” downhill revealing a possible dinosaur bone bed.

The Fossil Bone Fragment is most likely from a Hadrosaur or Duck Billed Dinosaur. This fragment is one that was very badly damaged. It is often the case that bones are torn apart. But this is not uncommon as meat eaters and scavengers tear their prey apart.
