From Pete Larsen Black Hills Institute

This Triceratops skull is unusual in that it is an adult from the Triceratops prorsus zone, but it’s skull will only be about 5 feet in length. A normal adult T. prorsus may reach 8 feet

This braincase might tell us if we are dealing with individual variation, or a separate species

Our small adult Triceratops skull was preserved with about 20 maxillary teeth. Because these are smaller and somewhat unique, we are molding them and will put casts into the mount. Deb Christie is a master caster. This is her work, ready for the second layer of silicone.
