Daspletosaurus Bone Fragment - Authentic Two Medicine Formation Fossil Specimen

Long before Tyrannosaurus rex dominated the Late Cretaceous, its ancestor Daspletosaurus ruled the Age of Dinosaurs. Measuring 30 feet long with a powerful bite force and blade-like teeth, Daspletosaurus was a terrifying apex predator of the Late Cretaceous Period. This authentic Daspletosaurus bone fossil is a piece of fossilized Daspletosaurus bone recovered from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana - a site that has been foundational to understanding the evolutionary chain of the wider Tyrannosaurid family.

The Ancestor of the King - 74 Million Years Old

The Two Medicine Formation specimens of Daspletosaurus have been particularly important to paleontology's understanding of tyrannosaurid feeding habits and evolutionary refinement. Here, 74 million years ago, these mighty theropods were honing the predatory toolkit that would eventually produce T. rex. This is not a cast - it is a genuine fossilized Daspletosaurus bone fragment, presented in a glass-topped riker display case with an informational card serving as the certificate of authenticity.

The Authentic Daspletosaurus Bone Fossil for the Tyrannosaurid Collector

This specimen pairs naturally with the T. rex Bone and T. rex Tooth Fragment for a display tracing tyrannosaurid evolution across millions of years - from Daspletosaurus at 74 million years ago to T. rex at the end of the Cretaceous. Each specimen includes a Mini Museum certificate of authenticity and informational display card. Explore more in our Prehistoric Collection and our Natural History Collection.
