Dinosaur Hall at Carnegie Museum of Natural History has eleven different species of dinosaur on display. Triceratops is just one of the fascinating fossil animals you will see at Carnegie Museum of Natural History, the "Home of the Dinosaurs."


 Triceratops
Rather than an entire skeleton, Carnegie Museum of Natural History displays only the skull of a Triceratops. Hundreds of Triceratops skulls have been found throughout western North America—in the states of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and South Dakota, and in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Triceratops skull in Dinosaur Hall was found in eastern Montana in 1904 and was collected by Carnegie Museum paleontologist W.H. Utterback.

Carnegie Museum's Triceratops skull is about 6 feet 3 inches long, an average size for this type of dinosaur. The largest skull known, 8 feet long, is mounted on a skeleton exhibited in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The skull itself is huge, but can you imagine how enormous Triceratops was in "flesh and blood"?
