Having been field collecting for decades, I can attest it is uncommon to find vertebra with a preserved neural arch or other features. Erosion and the harsh Canadian climate tend to disintegrate dinosaur bones due to their porous nature once exposed to the elements. This fossil appears to have been repaired by combining two halves of a split vertebra but has not been restored in any way (no enhancements or hole-filling).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis specimen combines a manageable display size and anatomical detail with recorded provenance and legal status, making it an appealing addition to a collection of Alberta dinosaur fossils.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLegal Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e This specimen is legally available for private ownership and resale under Alberta Disposition Certificate #001590.
