Fossil Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus T Rex zygapophysis Hell Creek Fm Montana COA 4026

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 zygapophysis bone from 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 3.9 inches, and weighs 7.7 oz.
Wikipedia says of zygapophysis, "The zygapophyses (singular: zygapophysis), or articular processes, are projections of the vertebral arch that connect adjacent vertebrae. Each vertebrae has two pairs of zygapophyses, which are articulating with the zygapophyses of the following and preceding vertebra."  I hope that's ok to copy from Wikipedia, I do donate to Wikipedia each year.
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.
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.
