Formation:  Nanxiong
Location:  Guangdong Province, China
Size:  Jaw is about 5" X 6"

This is a very rare dinosaur fossil. It is a partial hadrosaur maxilla with teeth from China. The unusual part of this fossil is the location where it was found - at the site that produces the Raptor eggs. This site is known almost exclusively for raptor eggs, and occasionally raptor bones have been found. But this is a hadrosaur jaw - possibly unknown from these layers. We had the jaw identified by Black Hills Institute, and they agreed that it is indeed a partial hadrosaur maxilla. The jaw has a nice row of teeth intact in the jaw, although most of the crowns are missing. This is an extremely rare dinosaur fossil from a site that usually only produces eggs.

A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
