Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex T Rex Leg pc. South Dakota SD COA 4971 +stand
A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils will accompany this specimen. 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 very rare 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, tibia, or pelvic girdle (ilium, ischium, pubis) of the T Rex. The specimen measures about 4.39" by 3.83" with the calipers. It is a very solid specimen, and it is just one piece, not multiple pieces glued together. No paint or restoration has been used.
It has great natural coloration and excellent curves. 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.

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. A COA should be specific to one particular specimen, with a photo of the exact item on it. This assures that the COA can never be transferred to a different specimen.
We want to make sure you are fairly treated by us always.
