Triceratops Brow Horn. Known for its two long brow horns and for living at the same time as T-Rex, the Triceratops is one of the most popular dinosaurs. This 7 x 5 inch brow horn, with a piece of skull still attached, is from a juvenile Triceratops as indicated by the fact that the species' horns continued to grow as they aged. This is an excellent specimen, nearly complete with only some minor restoration to repair some cracks. The small holes in the horn and skull, known as horn cores, represent where blood flowed to these areas. In life the horn would have been covered in keratin (like our fingernails) and would have been about 30 percent larger. This excellent display fossil is 65-66 million years old and was found on a private ranch in Montana.
