Miasaura Dinosaur Bone Pathology, of a Cancerous Grownt on Cervical Rib Triceratops

Miasaura Dinosaur Bone Pathology, of a Cancerous Grownt on Cervical Rib TriceratopsA bone pathology refers to abnormalities in bone growth or healing from injury or disease. Such abnormalities (pathologies) are not limited to modern or living animals and are also found in the fossil record. Finding bone pathologies in the fossil record are rare. The replica specimen presented here shows how injury or disease affected the normal growth of the bone. It is fascinating to see how the animal reacted to the injury or disease and to

The gas caused the crinoid to float and could probably be regulated to allow the crinoid to move up and down in the water column

The quarry was used to mine bituminous shale

and a tail shield (pygidium)

placing them directly in the human evolutionary tree

but was not seriously excavated for scientific study until the 1970's

This large Carnosaur dinosaur track was found in a Utah coal mine

allowing it to stab its victims with its incisors

Their lineage traces back to the Cambrian

adults on all fours

This replica specimen comes from the Eocene of British Columbia

It had powerful arms
