Fossil Dinosaur Triceratops Upper Jaw Section Lance Creek Fm Wyoming WY COA 4056

Description

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this specimen.
Here is a nice piece of genuine upper jaw bone section
It is from a Triceratops horridus, from the late Cretaceous, as late as 66 million years ago, the end of the Reign of Dinosaurs.
It has been positively identified as a Triceratops horridus, as it was part of a dinosaur that was identifiable, but too heavily eroded to recover much of the skeleton.
It measures about
7 inches and weighs 15.15 oz. It is one piece, not several pieces glued together. That's actually a pretty large piece of Triceratops bone in one piece. No paint or restoration has been used.
It is from Lance Creek Formation, Wyoming.
A very nice piece of an ancient Triceratops.
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 large fossilized piece of a famous species of dinosaur.
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 fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other
fossil.
We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.
