The Story of Triceratops

In this video I talk about the horned and frilled dinosaur, Triceratops, from its discovery in the Old West, to lingering mysterious yet to be solved by future paleontologist. I hope you enjoy this video. It was a lot of fun to research.

    Since they are horns rather than antlers they will be broken permanently. The keratin sheath can be re-grown, and bone can heal over time. Here are a couple papers on the topics: www.uv.es/~pardomv/pe/2004_1/horn/horn.pdf www.google.com/books/edition/New_Perspectives_on_Horned_Dinosaurs/OWpQW_WhPAsC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=ceratopsian+dinosaur+horn+damage+injury&pg=PA355&printsec=frontcover

    Hello Ben, first off I want to say that I love the channel, love the content. I've binge watched most all your videos since I've discovered your channel, especially the rocks of Utah and the Allosaurus in particular. And I've been wanting to ask something for a while... I believe I've found a big "glob" of stromatolite fossils in the mountains just south east of Huntsville UT a few miles. I spotted it last year and only recently realized what it could be. I've compared it to a bunch of photos and there seems to be a lot of similar features. My question is, can you tell me what I can do to figure out exactly what it is? Is there someone I can get in contact with? Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Send me some pictures via email at benjamin.burger at usu.edu, I would be happy to look at them. There is also a great geology department at Weber State in Ogden, they would be able to identify for you as well. We team up with them often for our field camps, or make the drive north to Logan to Utah State. There are a lot Paleozoic Limestones in that region.

    The cerastopcian types moved like giant rabbits. ! Back legs pivoting together with weight center shifted to front legs rear legs are OUTSIDE of front legs at maximum reach even at low speeds. Proper look at the joints shows this.

    POWPUCK !!! It could be that, but it could also be defense experimentation. This is just my personal theory, but the fact is that for literally every genus of Ceratopsian, there is a genus of Tyrannosaurid living in the same environment. So I think they’re experimenting with different styles of frills and horns, while the Tyrannosaurids living alongside them are evolving stronger jaws and more robust teeth (as well as other traits and/or abilities) to defeat their respective Ceratopsians, and that blood feud continued right up till the end of the Cretaceous, where you have T-Rex and Triceratops themselves.

  • @BenjaminBurgerScience

    It could be. The research of Elisabeth Vrba on Bovids, and ideas such as her Turnover-pulse hypothesis might explain the diversity. I should have done more reading into her work on diversification in horned mammals, because I think it also pertains to horned dinosaurs. The idea is that speciation is driven by allopatric speciation, with an enhanced level of species recognization as a result of the unique horns and frills of each population. There is also some biostratigraphic or temporal separation between groups.
