Hadrosaur Vertebra Centrum (Tail Vertebra), Alberta (disposition #001590)

A fossil vertebral centrum from a hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur, measuring 5 × 3 × 2.5 cm. The centrum forms the main body of a vertebra and articulates with neighbouring vertebrae as part of the backbone.

Its compact proportions are consistent with a possible tail vertebra, although its precise position along the spine remains undetermined. The neural arch and projecting processes are not preserved.

From the Harvey Negrich Collection, this specimen combines recognizable vertebral anatomy with collection provenance. Its compact form makes it well suited to a comparative display of dinosaur skeletal elements or an Alberta fossil collection.

Legal Status: This specimen is legally available for private ownership and resale under Alberta Disposition Certificate #001590. A copy of the disposition documentation will accompany the specimen. Learn more about Alberta fossils and the disposition process.
