Triceratops huge bulk alone made them a threat, but their long, stout horns provided them with a very dangerous weapon with which to defend themselves. The extensive frill of bone protecting the neck gave them an added measure of protection from surprise attack.

Bitten Femur

42" l

The famous "Rex Biscuit", a Triceratops femur with more than 100 bite and scratch marks from a large carnivore.

This is an amazing specimen! Not only would it make an excellent addition to any collection, it provides a wealth of educational opportunities. This Triceratops femur dates from the late Cretaceous period. Major bite marks from a large carnivore, such as a T-rex, are readily apparent forming opposed punctures on both sides of the specimen.

In addition to the major bite marks, the femur is riddled with over one hundred smaller bites and scratches (see below). Possibly illustrating parental behavior, the smaller bites and scratches could have been made by the offspring of the larger carnivore. Alternatively, the scratches and smaller bites could tell the story of scavenging in the late Cretaceous.
