The Ruby Site, a hadrosaur dominated bonebed in the NW corner of South Dakota, 
has some _Triceratops_ material (Hell Creek Formation).  The depositional 
environment has been concluded to be a high-energy fluvial environment (water 
was moving fast).  I would assume that this would also suggest that it was also 
an inland deposit.
