TRICERATOPS HUMERUS - Hell Creek Formation, Montana, U.S.

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  65 million years ago

This very large complete fossilized humerus from a Triceratops dinosaur is breath-taking when viewed in person and quite an impressive specimen.  The humerus is the long bone of the upper limb or forelimb of vertebrates.  The bone has been preserved retaining a wonderful chestnut brown over most of its surface shown here.  The entire bone has been professionally repaired and restored with less than 15% filler to strengthen and level cracks and missing areas.  The entire bone has also been chemically stabilized for strength and preservation.  

Triceratops is the most famous of the great horned dinosaurs.  This group has been found in the fossil record in greater abundance than all the other varieties.  A full grown Triceratops is estimated to have weighed 11 tons, heavier than a modern African bull elephant.  Its skull was 6.5 feet long with a pair of brow horns that exceeded 3 feet in length. 

For a genuine AND LEGALLY COLLECTED complete large dinosaur bone from this world-famous deposit, this specimen represents the finest and rarest quality available and is a MUST HAVE for any true dinosaur aficionado.  

EXTREMELY RARE AND RECOMMENDED!
