Triceratops Rib Bones, 70 Million Years Old. Triceratops is one of the most famous dinosaurs, known for its distinctive horns. Even though there are a number of partial skulls and horns known, there are no complete skeletons known, and other bones from Triceratops are quite rare. Consequently, these three well-preserved rib bones from an adult Triceratops present a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality dinosaur display at a modest price.
These three curved rib bones are 19-21 inches long along the curve and remain intact in the red limestone matrix as found in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. They are 65-70 million years old. It is rare to find even one intact dinosaur bone, but finding three attached rib bones is very rare indeed. An outstanding display fossil for any dinosaur enthusiast. Weight is 17½ pounds.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,250.
