Description: Edmontosaurus dinosaur bone fossil in great display case.This Edmontosaurus bone fossil is from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. The fossil is about 3/4" x just under 1/2".I am unsure which part of the dinosaur this bone piece is from.Fossil comes in unique Edmontosaurus display case and includes a laminated information card. All fossils sold are authentic and one-of-a-kind. No replicas. EdmontosaurusEdmontosaurus is a genus that includes hadrosaurids (duck-billed dinosaurs). There are two species known to be in the genus: Edmontosaurus royalis and Edmontosaurus aninectens. E. regalis fossils have been found in rocks in western North America dating from the late Campanian Stage of the Cretaceous Period, 73 million years back. While E. annectens fossils were found in the same geographical region, but in rocks that are dated to the end the Maastrichtian Stage of the Cretaceous (66 million years) Edmontosaurus was one the last non-avian dinosaurs to survive. It lived with dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops shortly before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction.Edmontosaurus was one of the most massive hadrosaurid species. It measured up to 39 ft in length and weighed around 4.4 tons. Two fossilized specimens, which are housed at the Museum of the Rockies, provide evidence for an even larger Edmontosaurus annectens maximum size of 49ft. They weigh 10 tons. There are a number of well-preserved specimens that have bones and, in some cases, extensive skin impressions. It is classified as a hadrosaurine (or genus of saurolophine) hadrosaurid. This group includes hadrosaurids that lack large hollow crests and instead have smaller, solid crests or fleshy hairs.Edmontosaurus was widespread in western North America. It is evident that Edmontosaurus preferred coastal plains and the coasts, as evidenced by its fossil distribution. It could walk on either two or four legs. Edmontosaurus, which is found in several bone beds, is believed to have lived in groups and could have been migratory. Researchers have been able to examine its paleobiology, including its brain and how it might have eaten, as well as its injuries and pathologies. For example, evidence of tyrannosaur attacks against a few edmontosaur remains. ED031
