Fossil Dinosaur Triceratops Left Premax Hell Creek Formation Montana hotsell COA 4844

Welcome to Pioneer Fossils!

A photo Certificate of Authenticity, complete with a photo of the item as part of the COA, will accompany this specimen.

Here is a nice piece of genuine left Premaxilla bone part from a Triceratops, from the late Cretaceous, as late as 66 million years ago, the end of the Reign of Dinosaurs. It has been positively identified as a Triceratops, as it was part of a dinosaur that was identifiable, but too heavily eroded to recover much of the skeleton.

It measures about 3.62 inches on the calipers, and weighs 4.6 oz. There are some cracks in one side, but they do not go all the way through the piece.


It is from Hell Creek Formation in Eastern Montana, near Glendive.

Triceratops is one of the most famous of all dinosaurs, with its 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, and weighed up to 13 tons. It was, however, a plant-eater, with a beaked jaw and hundreds of teeth (up to 800) packed closely together for chewing the plants. There are two different Triceratops: horridus and prorsus. The horridus are always found in ground below the prorsus, so they are older. The horridus have a smaller nose horn and larger beak than the prorsus.

A very interesting and authentic fossilized piece of a famous species of dinosaur.

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