Triceratops Skull Bone

A piece of skull bone from the famous horned dinosaur, Triceratops. It comes from the Hell Creek Formation in Carter County, Montana. This formation was laid down by ancient floodplains in the Late Cretaceous and preserves fossils of Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus, as well as many other well known dinosaurs. Its top, the K-Pg boundary, marks the asteroid impact that ended the dinosaurs.

This bone was found with other Triceratops skull pieces and features some nice detail. It's hard to say which part of the skull it comes from, but it's a sizeable skull piece, featuring the characteristic pits and grooves of Triceratops skulls (muscle attachment points and holes for blood vessels to penetrate the bone). It was found in one piece and has no repairs or restoration. The bone comes with a display stand as pictured and a small card featuring the specimen name, region it was found, age and a QR code linking to some information about Triceratops.

This is genuine fossil. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
