Nice Shape Triceratops Juvenile Brow Horn 8.7" Lance Creek Wyoming WY COA 6421

Description: Welcome to Pioneer Fossils! A Certificate of Authenticity, which has a color photo of the exact item you purchased on it, will accompany the specimen. Here is an excellent unprepped genuine juvenile brow horn bone from a Triceratops, from the late Cretaceous, as late as 66 million years ago, the end of the Reign of Dinosaurs. Note the nice shape of the brow horn, about 8.7 inches in length. It was glued together as it was pulled out of the ground. Note the holes that are found over much of the horn. This were blood holes, where blood would travel to nourish the horn. Being a juvenile, it did not yet have time for the blood to develop blood grooves. No restoration has been done to this specimen. From Lance Creek Formation, Wyoming. Dinosaur bones are commonly found cracked into many pieces, lying next to each other in the matrix. Standard practice is to put some Star Bond or other adhesive on all of them while they still sit in the ground, holding them together so they are not picked up in a dozen (or more) pieces. That appears to have been the case here. This is not considered damage with dinosaur bones, but is commonly done. In fact, nearly all dinosaur bones you see on display in a museum were once pieces glued together. Triceratops is one of the most famous of all dinosaurs, with its huge head, tough bony frill, and three sharp horns in the front. The movie, Jurassic Park, features a sick Triceratops that Ellie cared for. The largest Triceratops grew to over 28 feet in length, and weighed up to 13 tons. It was, however, a plant-eater, with a beaked jaw and hundreds of teeth (up to 800) packed closely together for chewing the plants. There are two different Triceratops: horridus and prorsus. The horridus are always found in ground below the prorsus, so they are older. The horridus have a smaller nose horn and larger beak than the prorsus. A very interesting and authentic fossilized piece of a famous species of dinosaur.We invite you to visit our store.

Our items are of vastly different sizes and weights, but we never use shipping as a profit center. We would rather refund the shipping overpayment back to you, and have a happy buyer. We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the specimens. We have been working with fossils and minerals for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. Have you ever received a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that had no photo on it of the item you purchased? A COA should be specific to one particular specimen, with a photo of the item on it. At Pioneer Fossils, our fossils and minerals come with a COA, and each have a photo of the exact item you just purchased. This assures that the COA can never be transferred to a different specimen. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT: If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact us, and let us make it right, before giving any feedback.
