Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus T Rex Pre-Maxilla (Snout) Bone Hell Ck Montana COA

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this item. Here is an extremely nice and important piece of bone from a T Rex. It was found in the Hell Creek Formation, near Glendive, Montana.

There were about 150 pieces found in the same area, therapod bones, some too big to be anything but a T-Rex. Unfortunately not enough to make a skeleton. It is a bone from the Pre-Maxilla, a very important bone for any animal. It is the foremost bone of the upper jaw and forms the very tip of the snout.

Not very often do you find this important bone this nice. It is at the very front of the animal. As is most often the case, it was found in 2 pieces at the site and bonded back together. The specimen measures about 3.3 inches 83.8 mm. From the late Cretaceous, 66 to 68 million years ago.

The last great Age of the Dinosaur. Legally collected on a ranch near Glendive that conducts dinosaur fossil digs.

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 are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). Some words of caution about COAs: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COAs, some that are wrong, mis-describing a specimen. Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any fish fossil. 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. In some cases, that is easy, in some cases not so much.
