- Crocodilian Scute
- Hell Creek Formation, ~68-65 million years old – Carter County, Montana, USA
- 1 1/8″ (2.8cm)
This is a nice example of a crocodilian armor scute from the Hell Creek Formation.
This scute is 100% original with no restoration/filling, it has been stabilized.
Crocodilian scutes are relatively common in Hell Creek sediments, though unbroken ones are hard to come by.
