Here is a nice piece of genuine beak bone from a Triceratops horridus,from the late Cretaceous, as late as 66 million years ago, the end of the Reignof Dinosaurs. It has been positivelyidentified as a Triceratops horridus, as it was part of a dinosaur that wasidentifiable, but too heavily eroded to recover much of the skeleton.

The bone is a small piece from the beak of the Triceratops. These are quite uncommon, as most of these do not survive the years and are found destroyed. It measures about 2.7 inches.The beak-like mouth was used for plucking and grasping plants.

It is from Hell Creek Formation near Miles City, Montana.

Triceratops is one of the most famous of all dinosaurs, withits huge head, tough bony frill, and three sharp horns in the front. The movie,Jurassic Park, features a sick Triceratops that Ellie cared for.

The largest Triceratops grew to over 28 feet in length, andweighed up to 13 tons. It was, however, a plant-eater, with a beaked jaw andhundreds of teeth (up to 800) packed closely together for chewing theplants. There are two differentTriceratops: horridus and prorsus. The horridus are always found in groundbelow the prorsus, so they are older. The horridus have a smaller nose horn andlarger beak than the prorsus.

A very interesting and authentic large fossilized piece of afamous species of dinosaur.

We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate ofAuthenticity). Some words of cautionabout COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about thefossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seenhundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are wrong, mis-describing aspecimen. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writesthe COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of theexact item described, tied to that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placednext to any other fossil. We suggest that instead of relying on a COA,that people read and study the subject.
