Gar fish scale (left) and 'ossified tendon' from a large herbivorous dinosaur (right).
While excavating the huge hadrosaurid femur we found some other interesting little fossils. Among these are numerous little scales from large 'gar' or 'pike' fish. Also associated with the site are fragments of turtle, an isolated dinosaur tooth, and a partial rib bone. These fossils are all entombed in a muddy-sandstone matrix, solid evidence that they were deposited in a Cretaceous river channel.
