Description: An adult Triceratops horridus (MOR 1122) skull collected in Fergus County, Montana, on display at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. Note the heavily grooved horns above the eyes. DISCLAIMER: Note this is actually a skull of Torosaurus, but Museum of the Rockies curator, John R. "Jack" Horner published a paper with John Scanella that claims that Torosaurus is merely the full mature form of Triceratops. Eventhough this thesis is still under debate, Horner decided all specimens of Torosaurus in Museum of the Rockies will be renamed as Triceratops.
