AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A truly rare opportunity to own an authentic right ilium bone (pelvic bone) from a Psittacosaurus, one of the most iconic and well-studied early ceratopsian dinosaurs.
Measuring 14,5 cm, this genuine fossil comes from the Early Cretaceous period (approx. 120 million years ago), and is a stunning example of prehistoric anatomy.
What makes this piece especially rare and valuable is not only its excellent preservation but the fact that ilium bones are far less commonly offered than teeth, claws, or vertebrae.
This is a museum-quality specimen and a must-have for serious collectors of dinosaur fossils or natural history artifacts.
NICE DISPLAY INCLUDED.
Species: Psittacosaurus sp.
Size: 14,5 cm
Location: Inner Mongolia, China
Age: Early Cretaceous (~120 million years)
Condition: Original bone, cleaned and stabilized. No restoration.
Provenance: From a legally acquired and documented private collection.
Add a truly unique and scientifically significant piece to your collection. Specimens like this do not come to market often!
Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
