Two Foot Long Triceratops Brow Horn
<Our item number 139049><B>Two Foot Long Triceratops Brow Horn.</B> With its two distinctive long brow horns and the fact that it lived at the same time as T-Rex, Triceratops has proven to be 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 specimen that was found in two pieces with a complete tip needing just some minor restoration to repair some cracks. There was a 6 inch section between the two pieces that was missing. This section has been professionally restored by a paleontologist and matches perfectly. The grooves in the horn, known as the horn core, represent areas where blood once flowed. In life the horn would have been covered with keratin &#40;like our fingernails&#41; and would have been about 30% larger. This excellent large and heavy display fossil is 65-66 million years old and was found on a private ranch in Montana.<BR><BR>A dd &#36;50.00 for domestic shipping. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,500 - 2,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 139049<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139049.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
