Description: Welcome to Pioneer Fossils! A photo Certificate of Authenticity from us at Pioneer Fossils will accompany this specimen. Also a free 12" by 8" Riker Mount. Here is a very rare set of bones, all from the same Maxilla, all from the same Triceratops, from the late Cretaceous, as late as 66 million years ago, the end of the Reign of Dinosaurs. The largest piece is 2 pieces glued together, measuring about 6.6 inches at the longest measurement. There are 5 other Maxilla pieces, in a Riker Box that is about 12.2" by 8.2". Again, these are all from the same Triceratops. Found with several hundred Triceratops bones and partial bones. It is from Hell Creek Formation near Newell, South Dakota.The Maxilla was the part of the jaw that was behind the toothless Premaxilla. The Maxilla bore 36-40 tooth positions, in which 3 to 5 teeth wwere vertically stacked in each. These are the columns you see in the pieces on this specimen. When a tooth was worn out, it was ejected (spitter) and replaced by a new one. Triceratops is one of the most famous of all dinosaurs, with its huge head, tough bony frill, and three sharp horns in the front. The movie, Jurassic Park, features a sick Triceratops that Ellie cared for. The largest Triceratops grew to over 28 feet in length, and weighed up to 13 tons. It was, however, a plant-eater, with a beaked jaw and hundreds of teeth (up to 800) packed closely together for chewing the plants. There are two different Triceratops: horridus and prorsus. The horridus are always found in ground below the prorsus, so they are older. The horridus have a smaller nose horn and larger beak than the prorsus. A very interesting and authentic fossilized piece of a famous species of dinosaur. We invite you to visit our store, which can be accessed on the right side of the top page.

COMBINED SHIPPING: We make every effort to combine shipping costs and we refund any overpayment back to you, on the same day we ship the item. We have given hundreds of partial refunds for combined shipping savings. We will do our best to combine purchases to save shipping costs. In some cases, that is easy, in some cases, not as much. Our items are of vastly different sizes and weights, but we never use shipping as a profit center. We would rather refund the shipping overpayment back to you, and have a happy buyer. 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. In addition, the person selling the item is often the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). 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. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT: If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact us, and let us make it right, before giving any feedback.
