Triceratops prorsus
Triceratops prorsus
Truly, this is one of the classic icons of natural history, and no dinosaur museum in North America is complete without one. Triceratops had to present a formidable defense to ward off the attacks of vicious mega-predators like Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus rex. Its broad frill, immense brow horns, and deadly snout demonstrate the formidable defenses necessary to successfully do that. The original Triceratops skeleton from which our adult cast was reproduced is one of the most complete and un-distorted on record. Our new juvenile Triceratops helps illustrate the interesting ontogeny apparent in the development from baby to adult ceratopsians.
