This element occupied the end of a toe and supported its hoof-like keratin covering. This specimen is rounded from water erosion. This likely occurred after the animal's remains were scattered and entered a stream or river system prior to burial in sediments. Unguals are surprisingly hard to find and complete ones are rare; probably due to their porous (somewhat delicate) nature. For one to survive a journey down an ancient river and several million years of burial is quite fun to think about!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHadrosaurs, commonly known as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003educk-billed dinosaurs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, had broad terminal toe bones suited to supporting their weight.
