TRICERATOPS SKULL
Now on display, Kirtland Hall, Cleveland Museum of Natural History
Triceratops lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, 68 million to 65 million years ago. It was one of the biggest dinosaurs of its time, second only in size to its arch-enemy, Tyrannosaurus rex. The Museum’s Triceratops is a replica of a mount on display at the American Museum of Natural History. Some parts of the mount were modeled after other Triceratops bones in the AMNH’s collections. The original mount is a composite of four fossil specimens found in Wyoming and Montana in 1909. Some parts of the mount were modeled after other Triceratops bones in the AMNH’s collections. No complete Triceratops skeletons are known, which is why museums have to mount composite skeletons for display. Unlike some horned dinosaurs that are found together in large groups, Triceratops fossils are only found as isolated specimens. This suggests that Triceratops may have lived a solitary lifestyle, as do most rhinos today.
