Einosaurus (hooked nose horn). This is a very rare Einosaurus procurvicornus (Einiosaurus) skull with all 3 horns. This is a fairly new discovery (1985) it was named in 1995 and is called "buffalo lizard". It is a medium-sized centrosaurine (short-frilled) ceratopsian from the Upper Cretaceous. Compared to Triceratops, the Einosaur
had a short-frill.
Einosaurus was a herbivore. Though a sub adult, this Einosaur would have grown to about 20 ft long. Geological Formation: Two Medicine Formation
Location: Discovered 2 miles from the Canadian border north of Dupuyer, Montana NW Montana. All previous Einosaurus fossils have been found in Canada.
This is a very rare dinosaur skull. Very few have been discovered. This skull is the complete upper skull with braincase. It is missing some frill behind dinosaur's right eye and also the lower jaw. The skull itself has no restoration (only crack filling). The nose horn measures 23 inches. The nose curves downward like a can-opener. Einosaurus had 2 horns off the frill. Though not attached, this skull comes with two horns. One of these was discovered with the skull, the 2nd comes from a slightly larger member of the same dinosaur. It is a good match for size. These horns are not connected to the skull but can be with a little restoration. We have seen reconstructed skulls of this dinosaur go for $50,000 to $60,000 while still in the ground! | Photo above is for comparison only. This is an Einosaur skull that was recently up for auction. You can compare it to the pictures on the left (and below) and you will see how nicely this skull will look with a little restoration.
Legally collected, this skull comes with pictures, and details of the discovery. It was found in a ravine with a herd that died from a sudden flood. It is one of most unusual dinosaurs that ever lived and it may have gone extinct due to the horn pointing down (and not being able to use it for defense). Few remains have been found of this animal and most museums do not have any remains of this animal. There are very few people who have this is private collections - so your purchase will make you among the most rare of museums or collectors.
This sub-adult skull measures 44". This is an opportunity to get a great skull for an economical price. I fell in love with this dinosaur the second I saw it. It is just beautiful. Displays well on top of a table or any piece of furniture and can safely be carried by two people. I can't say enough about this dinosaur. It is beyond words. Call for more details on this one.
