Triceratops Fossils 6ad36

Triceratops fossils were first discovered near Denver, Colorado in 1887. At first archeologists thought they were the remains of an extinct species of buffalo and not of a dinosaur. The first Triceratops skull was found in Alberta, Canada by C.M. Sternberg near Big Valley in 1946. Wyoming and South Dakota have made Triceratops their state fossil. No complete Triceratops skeleton has ever been found.
