Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus T Rex Fibula Section Hell Creek Montana COA 3745

Description

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany this item.
This is not "like" a T Rex or "African T Rex", it is the real thing. Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Here is an extremely nice piece of bone from a fibula of a T Rex. It
was found in the Hell Creek Formation, near Glendive, Montana, in 1999.
There were a large number of pieces (more than 150)
found in the same exact site, of a T-Rex.
Unfortunately not enough pieces,
and many
too eroded
to make a skeleton.
The specimen measures about 2.3 inches, and weighs 3.75 oz.
Near the end of weight-bearing bones on the T-Rex was Trabecular material, which was very lightweight but incredibly strong, built in sort of a honeycomb style. This explains some on the hollow spots in the ends of femurs, fibulas, etc.  Other dinosaurs also had Trabecular bones, but the trabecular on the T Rex was one of the most efficient, helping the animal run faster with less weight to carry.
From the late Cretaceous,
66 to 68 million years ago. The last great Age of the Dinosaur.
Tyrannosaurus Rex was king of the predators in the Hell Creek Formation. The name Tyrannosaurus means "Tyrant Lizard" in Greek, and Rex means "King" in Latin. It could grow to 40 feet, and had the strongest bite of any land animal ever.
An interesting and important addition to a fossil collection.
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 item described, as part of that COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any other fossil or mineral.
We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject.
