TRICERATOPS BROW HORN. Triceratops with its two long brow horns and living at the same time as T-Rex is one of the most popular dinosaurs. This 24 x 7 inch brow horn is very large and from a mature Triceratops. The horns of a Triceratops are never found without cracks and are usually found in pieces. This is an excellent dark well detailed brown specimen that was found in two pieces with a complete tip needing just some minor restoration to repair some cracks. There was a six inch section between the two pieces that was missing and has been restored by a paleontologist and mached perfectly. The grooves in the horn represent areas where blood flowed to the horn. This is a horn core. In life the horn would have been covered with keratin (like our fingernails) and would have been about 30% larger. This excellent large and heavy display fossil is 65-66 million years old and was found a private ranch in Montana.
