About the Item
This exceptional specimen of fossilised dinosaur skin preserves the hexagonal scales of a Brachylophosaurus (‘short-crested lizard’), giving us a rare snapshot of life 80 million years ago. This fascinating duck-billed, herbivorous dinosaur is known for the distinctive flat, bony crest which sometimes covered its entire skull, and its mysteriously long arms. The preservation of skin impressions in the fossil record is exceedingly rare, making this piece significant for both private study as well as a private collection. Beautifully presented with both a bronze desk base and wall mount, it gives flexibility to the collector choosing its display.
Provenance:
Discovered in late 2012 on private land in northern Montana.
