Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex T Rex Leg Bone +stand South Dakota SD COA 4803
A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils will accompany this specimen. Plus a custom-made wrought iron stand. This is not "similar to" a T Rex. It is not an "African T Rex".
Nor is it just a member of the Tyrannosaur family like Albertosaurus or Daspletosaurus. This is the real thing. Here is an extremely nice large piece of leg bone from a Tyrannosaurus 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.
Found in the same exact site, of a T-Rex. To make a complete skeleton. All the pieces are from the same back legs, so they are from the femur, fibula, or tibia of the T Rex. The specimen measures about 4.85 inches at the longest measurement, and weighs 1 lb. Dinosaur bones are commonly cracked into many pieces, lying next to each other in the matrix.
Standard practice is to put some Star Bond or other adhesive on all of them while they still sit in the ground, holding them together so they are not picked up in a dozen (or more) pieces. That appears to have been the case here.
The dark area is Star Bond or similar paleo bond, put on a crack in the bone while only the top of the bone was exposed from the ground. This greatly strengthens that area. This is not considered damage with dinosaur bones, but is standard procedure.
The bone now is quite sturdy. 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.

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. You may see a sentence regarding? The most up-to-date on this subject.
