Ceratopsid Dinosaur Toe Bone
Triceratops horridus
Late Cretaceous

An exceptional form combined with what it represents, this unique toe bone from a Triceratops is simply amazing. The inflated bone section is shaped like a large spear point with a broad fan aspect that gives a dimensionality and substance to this fossil. This piece itself offers a singularly aesthetic quality that, coupled with the nature of the material, is truly something special. The chocolate brown colored item is solid and strong.
