In Colorado, the remains of tricratops were found for 66 million years

In the state of Colorado in the United States, the remains of a triceratops were discovered with an age of 66 million years. This is written by The Washington Post. The find was discovered by workers at the construction site.

According to the curator of the Museum of Nature and Science, Denver Paleontologist Joe Sertich, the fossil found is a dinosaur skull. The size of the skull, according to scientists, suggests that the tricratops, who lived in the Denver area, was approximately half the closest "relatives" from Northern and South Dakota and Montana. The certificate noted that the found remains are older than most other fossils found along the frontal mountain range of Colorado. Typically, the bones of the end of the last ice age were found there - about 10-12 thousand years ago.

The first skeleton of tricratops was collected at an exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonov Institute in Washington in 1905. He was called "Hatcher" in honor of the paleontologist John Bella Hatcher, who discovered most of these bones.

Triceratops is one of the last types of living herbivores. He had two horns on his forehead and one on the tip of the face, closer to his nose.
