Dracarys 229 Posted January 25, 2020 My newest addition is a rare Cretaceous Hesperornis sp. tibiotarsus. It was found in the Pierre Shale Form in Fort Peck, MT. Thank you @Auspex for the identification and explanation that Hesperornis material is rare bc "thin-walled hollow bones are not readily preserved, and in the case of this flightless species, most died in the ocean and were scavenged in that highly efficient recycling environment". The specimen is 9 inches and was found in many pieces and carefully puzzled back together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
