horn?

[AranHao]

Hello everyone.

I want to know if this is the Ceratopsian brow horn? The length is 28 centimeters, and it comes from the Hell Creek Formation in Carter County

Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated.

That doesn’t look like any hell creek material I’ve seen, though my hell creek knowledge is very limited so I could very well be wrong.

What's the proximal cross section view look like?

The base seems a bit empty.

I can't see it that well, but a concave base might support brow horn. They have a hollowness towards the base.

 

You can sort of see it here:

Then I've also got this chunk that, while I never posted it for ID, I believe is a section of the base of a brow horn (showing the hollowness):

Thank you for your help. I will ask the seller to provide high-definition images.

from these pix, it looks like that could be a pretty good ID.

Hello,I just received the horn and sent a clearer picture. I don't seem to be sure if the base is hollow, so it's the front brow horn?Or the nasal horn?

It does look like a brow horn. The lack of any concaveness at the base is probably just a sign that it comes from the middle section of a bigger horn, rather than the base section of a smaller horn.
