Triceratops Dinosaur Bone Fossil| Authentic Cretaceous Collector Specimen
This authentic Triceratops dinosaur bone fossil is a genuine piece of the Late Cretaceous, formed around 70 million years ago in what is now Utah in the USA.
Triceratops was a large plant-eating horned dinosaur and one of the last of its kind before the mass extinction 66 million years ago. This is a true fossil specimen, and a rare collector piece for lovers of palaeontology and earth sciences.
The bone is lined and furrowed, its texture carved over millions of years as the fossilisation process replaced living tissue with minerals. Every specimen carries its own pattern of grooves and colour, so the fossil you receive is one of a kind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my fossil look exactly like the photo? Every fossil is unique, so there will be natural variation in size, colour, texture and shape. The images show a representative specimen. This individuality is part of what makes a real fossil special rather than a mass-produced object.
