Description: Welcome to Pioneer Fossils! A Certificate of Authenticity with a color photo on it of the exact item listed here, will accompany this specimen. Here is a nice piece of genuine leg bone from a Triceratops, from the late Cretaceous, as late as 66 million years ago, the end of the Reign of Dinosaurs. It measures about 2.3" (58 mm). There is a large amount of Trabecular in it, the porous stuff that made its legs lighter without sacrificing strength. Found mostly in the weight-bearing bones. It is from Hell Creek Formation near Newell, South Dakota. 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.With this type of specimen, a number of tiny particles may come off in shipping, but not enough to hurt the beauty of the piece.

This item, along with all items we sell, is only intended for responsible adults. Please keep out of reach of children. All of our descriptions are 100% written by American humans. Seller's responsibility ends at the US destination we ship it to. With international destinations, our responsibility ends when they reach the US eBay international shipping center. COMBINED SHIPPING: We make every effort to combine shipping costs and we refund any overpayment back to you, on the same day we ship the item. We have given hundreds of partial refunds for combined shipping savings. We will do our best to combine purchases to save shipping costs. In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not as much. 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. 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. A COA should be specific to one particular specimen, with a photo of the exact 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.
