DD1991 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 A new, startling revelation you may find interesting: https://canadianmuseumofnature.wordpress.com/2018/12/12/triceratops-skull/ The skin impression found on a Triceratops skull found by Charles Sternberg in Saskatchewan, Canada, is quite a surprising discovery, potentially giving people an idea of what the skin of Triceratops looked like, because no other Triceratops specimen has skin impressions preserved. The Tyrannosaurus rex skin impression found last year isn't too far from how T. rex is depicted in children's movies, and the newly discovered Triceratops skin impression may or may not be close to how kids illustrate Triceratops, while giving clues to what ceratopsid skin looked like. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfarrar Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Triceratops horridus known as LANE, at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, has square meters of skin preserved from many parts of the body. It was collected from the Lance Creek area in Wyoming. This is just an example. Bob 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious because Triceratops is now the third dinosaur found in the Hell Creek Formation that is known from skin impressions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, the Triceratops known as "Lane," at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, was found in Wyoming in 2007, by a non-professional collector while hunting for fossils on her land. The specimen was later named after her grandson. You can read the article here, in an online newsletter from the museum. Start the day with a smile and get it over with.
