What makes pieces like this especially recognizable is the rough, grooved, and pitted surface texture, which reflects the blood vessels and soft tissue that once helped support the horn sheath. That natural texture is one of the clearest signs that this fragment comes from the horn area rather than ordinary bone. This specimen does not disappoint— coming with a display stand, it is ready to be displayed in your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCollected by us last summer near Newcastle, WY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-shrink-0 flex flex-col relative items-end\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-0.5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gizmo-shadow-stroke flex h-6 w-6 items-center justify-center overflow-hidden rounded-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative p-1 rounded-sm h-9 w-9 text-white flex items-center justify-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)] agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-message-id=\"7d47cfad-a87c-4692-8560-09d4b958c230\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Triceratops, lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 to 66 million years ago. This herbivorous species is distinguished by its large body, strong legs, and three prominent facial horns - one on the nose and one above each eye. The most striking feature of Triceratops is its large skull, which includes a solid frill at the back. This frill, combined with the horns, was likely used for defense against predators, such as Tyrannosaurus rex , as well as for display and species recognition among other Triceratops. Fossil evidence indicates that these dinosaurs could grow up to 30 feet in length and weigh between 6 to 12 tons. Their teeth were arranged in groups that formed a constantly replaced battery, ideal for their diet of fibrous plants. Triceratops fossils are among the most abundant for any dinosaur, making it a key species for understanding the Late Cretaceous period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48032969162892,"sku":"4032","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3697\/5500\/files\/Untitled_c07277b4-162e-46b3-bb5e-debc069b770f.jpg?v=1777408811","url":"https:\/\/fossilsonline.com\/products\/triceratops-horn-fragment-on-stand","provider":"Fossils Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
