- Lot Description
North America, South Dakota, Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian period, ca. 72.1 to 66 million years ago. A large vertebra from one of the most famous and charismatic of the dinosaurs. The Triceratops (Triceratops horridus) had three distinctive facial horns and a frill-like fan on the back of the head. In life, these animals grew to over twenty feet long and could weigh over 10,000 pounds. Their remains have been found throughout the Rocky Mountains from Alberta to Colorado; this particular example comes from private land near one of the most famous and fossil-dense find areas known from the Cretaceous period, the Hell Creek Formation, composed of various clays, mudstones, and sandstones. Here, over fifty unique Triceratops specimens have been found, alongside other famous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus. Size: 9.05" W x 8.5" H (23 cm x 21.6 cm); 11.2" H (28.4 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: ex-private western Colorado, USA collection, found on private land in South Dakota
