Tyrannosaurus REX (King of the Dinosaurs) Ilium Blade 65 plus MYA Old

Species: Tyrannosaurus  Rex

Species description: One of largest carnivore during dinosaurs age with 12" corner teeth with roots and up to 49 ft long and 15 ft high that lived in western USA - largest in the United States that ever lived and killed and scavenged prey.

Period: Late Cretaceous Period 70-66.5MYA

Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation

Geologic location: Buffalo, S. Dakota

Description and Rating: 12  :  T REX Ilium Blade (Part of Pelvis) 23" Long x 9" H x 7" wide. Probably about 50% of  the bone - Definite REX.  Color is dark brown and even the narrow end of blade of the king of the dinosaurs. It is in great shape with bone quality mostly great with some areas very good and others good as an underground find. This is a rare piece and priced to sell quickly for someone's collection of REX items. Very few bones of REX are found intact and this bone is very rare. This is about 40% of the entire bone. If complete it sells for $9000.

I do have a tibia, fibula, middle metatarsal and a femur of a REX , and been offered over 9000 for them  for them. This is heavy and due to undulations of bone hard to clean off as many areas are fragile and thin so this is rare to have this blade, as usually this side is lost. It was sealed well and is now very stable with penetrant sealant. Anyway this pelvis large piece will see fast as all TREX items do but this is at a discount so hurry or lost. I have sold at least 20 TREX items this year alone so you better be fast on this one.

Large 25" Triceratops Horn with 21" Base from a Predated Animal Eaten by a TREX

Species: Triceratops horridus

Species description: Large 11 ton herbivore with frill around 6.5 ft head and 1 nose horn with 2 Brow Horns off frill.

Period: Cretaceous Period 70-66.5MYA

Geologic strata: Hell Creek formation

Location: Brusett, Montana Private Ranch –bought from land owners

Item description & rating: 1-12- 12 Very Nice Quality 95%original  Triceratops 25.5" Brow Horn with 21" Diameter at base.  What a nice horn with all outer bone. This horn has it all with a  perfect sharp tip, nice connection area break off, and underground find with beautiful brown color. On one side part was exposed but not long as condition is at least very good . It has  very nice bone lines  and was professionally prepped by myself. It only has crack fills where it broke but highly stable horn now, Slight amount of restore in the back of horn.  It is probably a subadult Trike losing its life to a REX since it definitely did not make it to maturity. This is close to perfect and has the added story as it was killed by a REX and eaten by a TRex and Nanorex as 5 predator teeth were found embedded in the bones including 2 REX. This is a keeper. It had many bones with it with teeth marks in some. What a find. Brown color and very good bone quality helps to make it a prize piece I'm selling piece meal as many parts of skull were found so if you need any other parts like brain case let me know.

SOLD

Top-of-Line Nest 95% Shell of 2 HUGE GIGANTORAPTOR or possible TARBOSAURUS EGGS

DESCRIPTION: The most rare of all dinosaurs eggs are from the top predators on the food chain. And the largest egg genus are those of Macroelongatoolithus.

Since first described in 1995 by Li, Yin, and Liu this huge egg type was often conjectured as having been laid by a Tarbosaur. The dinosaur species was originally described as Tyrannosaurus bataar by Maleev in 1955. Ten years later in 1965 Rozhdestvensky placed it in Tarbosaurus. Later still, Paul (1988) put it back into Tyrannosaurus, which was accepted by most, but not all. Hence the intermingling of the two names when discussing this dinosaur genus. These eggs were associated with Tarbosaurus / Tyrannosaurus solely because of their large size, shape, rarity, formation found, and the lack of another similar size/type dinosaur known in the same time / location as the eggs. Yet, there was no hard evidence to back up the conjecture because of a lack of preserved late-stage embryonic bones within this egg type (which itself is incredibly rare). Plus, the similarity with the much smaller oviraptor eggs made researchers hesitant to push the claim. Indeed, dinosaur egg expert Dr. Darla Zelenitsky had already asserted that this egg type is from an as-yet undiscovered type of giant oviraptor.

Then everything changed in mid 2007 with the announcement of "A Gigantic Bird-like Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of China" just as Dr. Zelenitsky had predicted. ture. The paper describes the fossil remains of a huge dinosaur found in northern China that was as tall as the formidable Tyrannosaur. It would have been about 26 feet long, 16 feet tall, and weighed 3,000 pounds -- and was christened Gigantoraptor erlianensis.

This has not been x-rayed so we do not know if any of the eggs contain embryonic remains.

Age: Middle to Late Cretaceous
Basic Shell Type: Ornithoid
Egg Genus: Macroelongatoolithus (Longiteresoolithus parataxonomic family)

However, we cannot definitively say that these eggs were laid by this newly discovered dinosaur. Yet, the fit is better now and there is an air of inevitability that it will be proven once an egg with late-term embryo is found and prepared for study. What we do know for sure is that the egg species is Macroelongatoolithus xixia, amongst the rarest and most sought out of dinosaur eggs by museums, advanced collectors, and investors. The confusing naming convention stems from the fact that dinosaur eggs are classified by their own genus and species name based solely on shell structure and type, and is completely independent of the dinosaur species suspected of having laid it. This allows for categorizing and study of the many types of eggs without having to make tenuous links to a certain type of dinosaur -- which in most cases is impossible to do because of the rarity of fossilized bones within the shells.

This massive specimen weighs a back-breaking 259 pounds (estimated) and required a custom-made wood crate for transporting it. We have not prepared it since the new owner may be a museum or university who may wish to do the work themselves. However, we are pleased to undertake the commission if the winner desires, at a cost of $50 / hour for 40 ~ 80 hours.

This egg type is identical to that in which fossilized embryo "Baby Louie" was found and subsequently featured in the May 1996 edition of National Geographic. Early on, the fossil embryo was tentatively identified as a Therizinosaur.

Very Nice X-Large Maiasaura Hadrosaur Dinosaur from Remote Area in Montana

Species: Maiasaura pebblesorum (Duck-bill Hadrosaur)

Species description: Duck-bill dinosaur 18' tall and 30 ft, flatheaded, toothless beak but behind beak many rows of teeth with long tail like a Iguanodon and was a herbivore that lived on course and found in herds so social animal . It was called the "good mother" dinosaur since many nests were discovered each about 23 ft apart and 10 ft in diameter.

Geologic strata: Two Medicine Formation

Geologic Period: Late Cretaceous 80-70 MYA

Item Location: Bynum, Montana

Item description and rating: 12 Very nice x-Large Rare Adult Maiasaura (Hadrosaur)Tibia that is a beautifully colored and structured bone. IT is over 40" long so from an extremely large Maisasaura. They were smaller than EDmontosaurus and was the forerunner to this animal. The dark brown color make it an exceptional find. This is for someone who wants perfection and top quality. The dark brown natural underground color is distinctive and make the pristine shape accentuated. This was found close to nests so such a good mother watching eggs of Maiasaura babies . These are only found at one location in the US in upper Montana at a formation that only stretches in one area . It has less than 10% restore with a number of breaks crack filled . While 40" it weighs 24 lbs . What a museum piece and first one of this animal I ever saw.

UNREAL BEAUTIFUL EXCEPTIONALLY RARE Oligocene POGONODON SABER-CAT That lived 23 Million Years

Species: Beautiful Large 8.5" Ultra Rare Pogonodon cismontamus (Platycopis) Saber-Cat Skull

Species description: One of earliest Nimravidae endemic to North America and Eurasia .A Nimravid  
saber-tooth cat  that roamed North America beginning in the Oligocene  Period 30.8 MYA - 7.2MYA. They stood at least 2 ft tall with cheetah-like habits and diet, and were solidary predators  hunting an abundant food supply of grazing ungulates including camels  and oredonts . Using their highly developed saber-teeth they would likely sever the blood supply in the neck of their prey in the initial attack. Their sabers are smaller than a dinictis as shown with this specimen  and estimated weight was around 70 lbs. This fossil is so rare it has little written about it. It lived at least 23.6 Million years

Geological strata: Brule Formation

Geological period: 30.8 MYA - 7.2 MYA

Item location: White River Badlands - Shannon County, SDakota

Item rating & description: 12  WOW !!!!  SUPREME RARE  COLLECTOR ITEM  8.5" POGONODON SABER-TOOTH CAT with 100% Original SABERS.   While it has a fair amount of skull restore: all teeth except the lower front are original to this animal. A rare cat you will never have a chance for. It has been IDed by a knowledgeable authority. This comes along once in a lifetime, and no one has one of these for sale. The last one I saw sold for $50,000 with skeleton. This was over-all a pretty good specimen considering few are found of this animal anywhere. The sabers and almost all teeth are exceptional which is the most important item, and the prep work was fantastic as it is well done. The species has the patented the upper diamond shape frontal and usually are missing the lower molar 2 which this is on one side. It has a distortion laterally, has part of cheeks and top restored.  With something this rare these are minor flaws. If this was perfect it would sell for $20,000. Anyway try to even find a picture of a skull and you'll be searching all day so save time and money by buying this one. Not sure I want to sell this at this point. I've been wanting this species for awhile.

X-RARE X-LARGE TREX COPROLITE

Species: Tyrannosaurus rex

Species description: One of largest carnivore during dinosaurs age with 12" corner teeth with roots and up to 49 ft long and USA own species found in western USA. Very powerful and massively built dinosaur which hunted solitary. It easily downed its prey with quick surprise attacks.

Period: Late Cretaceous Period 70-66.5 MYA

Geographic strata found: Hell Creek Formation

Geologic location: Glendive, Montana

Item Description and rating: 12 This is a Gigantic 41" Diameter Rare TREX Coprolite. It has scattered bones throughout the mixture and was found next to TREX pelvic bones last year. I purchased from a nice rancher, and was not sure of the correct title of the item even though we had thought it had to be this due to formation. It was a surface find so outer normal layering was not all present. IT has been sent for confirmation and your welcome to wait until final confirmation. It was my understanding it was confirmed, however not yet. The piece is absolutely outstanding and a must for a collector. It is heavy and many bones are seen throughout in all different directions. Certain spots due to elements created holes throughout which allows you to see the inner items. he value this hard on this since so few ever existed but since its probably TREX it is a great piece. Anyway I decided to keep it low so many collectors can get it. NO discounts apply to this piece. You could believe POOP can last 65 Million years. If you wish to a wait until final confirmation please do. I lowered price. If known 100% it would go for $3,000-4000.
