I am not really sure what to do with this dinosaur bone I have.
It was discovered in the 1950s I think somewhere in Colorado, Wyoming or the Dakotas. Found by my father who was a professional archaeologist later in life. If I recall correctly it is the horn of a multi-horned dinosaur and may have been a Styracosaurus or something similar. As you may see, it is about ten inches long and four inches wide. I would guess it weighs four pounds or 2 kilos.
I have had it since I was a kid. It is one of my prized possessions but all I know about it is that it was unearthed about there and about then and may be that thing. My dad died a long time ago and the provenance chain ended with him as I have no documentation.
I am conflicted about what to do as I would like to know more but I fear that if I turn to a professional source for advice, it may turn out I am possession of an artifact illegally and it may be confiscated. Going to a museum would be absolutely fine but not into the government's administrative abyss.
So what do you think is my best course of action?
Here a a few more pics if anyone is curious:
