Name: Avaceratops lammersi
Geologic Age: Cretaceous
Stratigraphic detail: Judith River Formation
Location: Yellowstone County, Montana
Description: This is a RARE find! To the best of my knowledge there have been less than 3-4 of these found and may be the FIRST to be made available commercially. This is a relatively NEW species that was found in Montana, in the early 1980s, by Eddie Cole and named in 1986, by Peter Dodson. It was named after Ava, Eddie's wife. The specific name honors the Lammers family, who owned the land where the holotype fossil was found. This species of ceratopsian was a rather SMALL member of the family. Measuring in at approx. 7 feet long and weighing only 400 pounds. It had ONE single nose horn. This specimen was found in the Summer of 2005 on Private Deeded land with the land owners permission. This is a partial skull and may represent 15% - 20% of the skull. Notice the size of the horn! Very cool.. EXTREMELY RARE specimen!!Avaceratops Skull 1 Price: $1500.00
