Rare Juvenile Triceratops Brow Horn - 5 Inches High. Triceratops is one of the most famous dinosaurs with its distinctive horns. Triceratops was one of the largest horned dinosaurs, known as ceratopsians. This lovely, chocolate-brown horn is 5 in. high and 2 in. wide, with some expert restoration on the tip, as is nearly always the case. The detail of the bone is excellent, with the furrows where blood flowed between the bony core and keraton covering, as well as microscopic holes in the bone, which helped keep the weight down. As this was a young Triceratops, there are more of the holes and a fine network of lines, indicative of fast growth. This 65-70 million-year-old fossil from one of the last dinosaurs was recovered from the Hell Creek formation in Harding Country, South Dakota. For domestic shipping, add $20.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,500.
