This offering is sold.

Zuniceratops was a tiny herbivore dinosaur that measured about ten feet long and three feet tall, weighing a mere 200 to 250 pounds. About the size of a calf, it only had two brow horns. This petite dinosaur was discovered in 1996 by 8-year old Christopher James Wolfe, son of paleontologist Douglas G. Wolfe. Zuniceratops is the only known ceratopsian named after an Indigenous Native American tribe. It roamed the Zuni basin in New Mexico at the end of the Early Cretaceous epoch. The basin hosts the Moreno Hill Formation, a deposit that contains many other wonderful dinosaur fossil finds. Brandon Phillips' adorable Zuniceratops have been carved from onyx and accented with pink mussel shell and gold lip shell features. Eyes are from turquoise inlays. About 2 1/2" long, 1 1/4" wide and 1 1/2" tall.
