- Lot Description
United States, North Dakota, late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years before the current era (BCE). This is an amazingly rare and large first spinal vertebra of a juvenile triceratops - actual fossilized bone and not a cast. Found in North Dakota - an area that bordered an inland ocean that once covered the interior of the United States - in an area rich with triceratopian fossils. This is the first cervical vertebra behind the skull - also known as the syncervical, or fused cervical (neck) vertebra. When you think of the number of triceratops vertebrae available, there are about 18 regular vertebra for every one of these syncervical vertebra available. Nicely preserved, displayed and ready to add to the most advanced collection. Size: 14" L x 11" H (35.6 cm x 27.9 cm); 15" H (38.1 cm) on included custom stand.
Triceratops is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs of all time. Emerging during the late Cretaceous, its name comes from its three distinct horns on its head, just below an armored crest that protected its neck and shoulders. It was an herbivore and probably used its formidable three-prong arsenal for defense. An adult could measure 30 feet long and stand 10 feet high. It is among the species of dinosaurs wiped out about 65,000,000 years ago when the earth was struck by a mountain-sized meteor.
Provenance: ex-private Arizona, USA collection, found on a private ranch in North Dakota, USA
