Welcome to Pioneer Fossils!
A Certificate of Authenticity, which has a color photo
on it of the exact item you purchased, will accompany the specimen. Plus a free
“floating” display stand.
Here is a genuine fossil tooth from a Leptoceratops, a
cousin to Triceratops, as both are
Ceratopsians, a group of beaked herbivorous dinosaurs.
Leptoceratops lived in Wyoming, among other areas.
This tooth is from Lance Creek Formation, Wyoming. From the Cretaceous, the last of the Age of
Dinosaurs.
This particular tooth measures about 22.8 mm. (0.9”).
As for the teeth, to quote Wikipedia (which I help support), The teeth are unusual in that
the dentary teeth have dual wear facets, with a vertical wear facet where the
maxillary teeth sheared past the crown, and a horizontal wear facet where the
maxillary teeth crushed against the dentary teeth. This shows that Leptoceratops chewed with a
combination of shearing and crushing. Between the shearing/crushing action of
the teeth and the powerful jaws, Leptoceratops was probably able to chew
extremely tough plant matter.

This item, along with all
items we sell, is only intended for responsible adults. Please keep out of
reach of young children.
All of our descriptions are 100% written
by American humans.
We will ship this only
to the United States. We are not
responsible if the buyer reships it somewhere else, after receiving it from us.
Our responsibility ends at the destination we ship it to. If you take it out of the United States, you
are on your own.
COMBINED SHIPPING: We make every effort to combine shipping
costs and we refund any overpayment back to you, on the same day we ship the
item. We have given hundreds of partial
refunds for combined shipping savings.
We will do our best to combine purchases to save shipping costs. In some
cases, that is easy, in some cases, not as much. Our items are of vastly different sizes and
weights, but we never use shipping as a profit center. We would rather refund the shipping
overpayment back to you, and have a happy buyer.
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.
Have you ever received a
Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that had no photo on it of the item you
purchased? A COA should be specific to
one particular specimen, with a photo of
the item on it. At Pioneer Fossils, all
of our fossils and minerals that come with a COA, have a photo of the exact
item you just purchased. It can never be
transferred to a different specimen.
