General Notes

Note

This Duckbill dinosaur shoulder blade was partially exposed to the elements when discovered. The shoulder blade was jammed against a sandstone encased jawbone on a sandstone outcrop. Also discovered and excavated was the partial skull/jawbone, a humerus and a vertebra. A series of vertebra showed themselves along the sandstone layer. Evidently the complete dinosaur was in the hillside.
