Dakota Formation - Vertebrate Paleofauna

Vertebrate Paleofauna

Dinosaur fossils are very rare in the Dakota Formation and most of them come from Kansas. The best specimen is a partial skeleton of a nodosaurid ankylosaur called Silvisaurus condrayi. Other isolated ankylosaur material may also belong to Silvisaurus. Fossil dinosaur tracks are also known and include theropod and ankylosaur. A large ornithopod femur is known from Nebraska.
