RE: Species of Triceratops



 

        T. horridus flabellatus*

Beware of this guy! He's a tricky one. . .Marsh's and Hatcher's illustrations look little like the actual specimen. . .

 

 

One of the things that really irritates me is that that illustration is COMPLETELY WRONG!!! And it still gets used. Lull wrote a paper about this in 1934.

 

Lull, R. S., 1934, Skull of Triceratops flabellatus recently mounted at Yale: The American Journal of Science, 5th series, v. 28, p. 439-442.

 

I’ve looked at the skull and I’m not sure the horns are real.
