Two Foot Long Triceratops Brow Horn. With its two distinctive long brow horns and the fact that it lived at the same time as T-Rex, Triceratops has proven to be one of the most popular dinosaurs. This 24 x 7 inch brow horn is very large and from a mature Triceratops. The horns of a Triceratops are never found without cracks and are usually found in pieces. This is an excellent specimen that was found in two pieces with a complete tip needing just some minor restoration to repair some cracks. There was a 6 inch section between the two pieces that was missing. This section has been professionally restored by a paleontologist and matches perfectly. The grooves in the horn, known as the horn core, represent areas where blood once flowed. In life the horn would have been covered with keratin (like our fingernails) and would have been about 30% larger. This excellent large and heavy display fossil is 65-66 million years old and was found on a private ranch in Montana.
