Welcome to Pioneer Fossils!
A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils will accompany this specimen.
Here is a large 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 4.63 inches and weighs 1 lb. 1.3 oz.
It is from Hell Creek Formation near Newell, South Dakota.
A few very small pieces will inevitably fall off during shipping, but not enough to hurt the beauty of the piece. We wrap it very securely. If this does not work for you, please do not order.
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 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. 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 specimen on the COA itself, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral. We suggest that in addition to relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.
