Do you want me to say it's found?

Identifying these is highly contingent on where it was found (such as formation). If this is an item you are seeking to purchase, you may wish to inquire of the seller where this was initially found as that context is essential to proper identification.

Description says it's from Montana

[Troodon]

Thank you.  I can say this, its not Triceratops horridus it may be T. prorsus but its dependent on provenance ( formation and county where it was found).  Montana is adequate to identify it as a Ceratopsian nasal horn.

Okay thanks for the info. There is nothing with the horn?

[Troodon]

Nothing jumps out as a problem but I'm not seeing the entire horn, need photos of the base, front and back.  Having said that, not all good restoration is visible with photos.  I would suggest if you purchase it to use a UV light on it to verify the sellers claim.

Okay good to know.
