Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus T Rex Leg Bone Trabecular South Dakota COA 4699

A Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils will accompany this item. This is not "similar to" a T Rex or "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 piece of bone from a leg of a T Rex. It has great Trabecular pattern. 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 partial 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 2.4 inches at the longest measurement, and it weighs 4.05 oz. This one has stacks of holes in the bone. Many large dinosaurs had large holes in the inner bone, with spongy material known as Trabecular bone.

It was lightweight, yet strong, allowing the dinosaur bones to carry great weight and still move quickly. T Rex had a lot of Trabecular in its weight-bearing bones, probably more than other dinosaurs. This bone also has wonder curves in it. 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 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.
