Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex T Rex Leg bone South Dakota SD COA 4465
A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils will accompany this item. Plus a free "floating" display stand. This is not "like" a T Rex or "African T Rex". Nor is it just in the Tyrannosaur family like Albertosaurus or Daspletosaurus.
It is the real thing. Here is an very nice piece of leg bone from a T Rex.
Was found in the Hell Creek Formation, near Newell, Butte County, South Dakota, about 20 miles north of Sturgis. There were a large number of pieces (more than 120). Found in the same exact site, of a T-Rex. To make a complete skeleton.All the pieces are from the same back leg, so they are mostly femur, fibula and tibia of the T Rex. The specimen measures about 3.8 inches. 66 to 68 million years ago. The last great Age of the Dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus Rex was king of the predators in the Hell Creek Formation.
The name Tyrannosaurus means "Tyrant Lizard" in Greek, and Rex means "King" in Latin. It could grow to 40 feet, and had the strongest bite of any land animal ever. We invite you to visit our store, which can be accessed on the right side of the top page.

It is the easiest way for you to look us up in the future. You will receive the exact item described and photographed, unless clearly stated otherwise.In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not as much. 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 specimen on the COA itself. Is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral.
We suggest that in addition to relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject. We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us. If you take it out of the United States, you are on your own.
