Thescelosaurus Toe Bone in Riker Box — Real Dinosaur Fossil, Hell Creek Formation, North Dakota (66 MYA)

Own a real Thescelosaurus fossil, a rare look at a lesser-known Hell Creek dinosaur. This authentic Thescelosaurus toe bone was collected from the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota and dates to the Late Cretaceous, about 66 million years ago. It comes displayed in a labeled Riker box, ready for a shelf, desk or classroom.

This is the exact piece you will receive. It is a one-of-a-kind specimen, so what you see in the photos is what ships. Only one is available.

Thescelosaurus was a small, plant-eating dinosaur that walked on two legs through the floodplains and forests of the Hell Creek ecosystem, sharing the landscape with Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops. It lived right up to the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, and its fossils are far less common than those of the famous giants. A toe bone like this is a tangible piece of the anatomy that carried it across the Late Cretaceous world.

A great gift for fossil collectors, dinosaur lovers, kids, teachers and anyone who wants a dinosaur fossil beyond T. rex and Triceratops.
