A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this item. This is not "like" a T Rex or "African T Rex", it is the real thing. Here is an extremely nice piece of bone from a T Rex.
Was found in the Hell Creek Formation, near Glendive, Montana, in 1999. There were a large number of pieces (more than 150). Found in the same exact site, of a T-Rex. It is a section of Cervical (neck) Vertebra Process near the Centrum (backbone).
It measures about 5.85 inches from tip to tip, and weighs 10.6 oz. Dinosaur bones are typically found in very hard rock, and they are extracted in pieces, then glued together on-site or at the lab. This is considered standard procedure with dinosaur bones, and not a defect. That is the case here, being several pieces reattached together.

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 specimens.
We have been working with fossils and minerals for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA's, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, as part of that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral.We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject. We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us always.
We cordially invite you to visit our store, and see items and fossils ranging from budget to world-class. You will receive the exact item described and photographed, unless clearly stated otherwise.
