Horridus the Triceratops - The Most Complete Triceratops Ever Found
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Paleontology sucks a little sometimes because of just how generally awful the fossil record is. By that, I mean that the fossil record has a bias and only a fraction of all life that has ever lived or died, for that matter, has become fossilized and survived the millions of years as a fossil for us to find them. That being said, the fossil record is still far better than one might suspect. So, most of the time extinct taxa are known from only one specimen. Another is never found ever again. However, there are a few that have continued to crop up in various rock layers as more and more work is done on those layers. The giant dinosaurs were no exception, and there are now over a handful of individual specimens known from several dinosaur genera, and even species - Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and many more are known from so many specimens that growth stages, sexual dimorphism, individual variation, pathology, and much more can be understood or entirely solved. Two of my favorite examples of this sort of cosmic luck, are Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.

I'm glad Mr. Man is still finding work despite his show getting cancelled
He's doing better as no one warps his body to demonstrate animal proportions anymore.
What happened?
The Melbourne Museum currently (2024) exhibits Victoria T-Rex and this Triceratops, quite an experience. You can have the dimensions in your mind, but seeing the remains of these animals erm... in the flesh... it's a knockout moment
Having seen this fossil in person is quite the experience, it's absolutely massive and so very beautiful
Super cool video! I didn’t know Triceratops could hear at low frequencies, it makes sense though!
Horridus Triceratops vs Triceratops Horridus
Paleontology sucks sometimes, wow very funny
Thank you for your service sir 🙏🏼
Love it
Me too
Do you think the Triceratops episode of Walking with Dinosaurs 2025 will be based on this Horridus Specimen?
Trike is One of my top 5 or 10 fav herbivores
BTW today is my birthday
why no comment on the debate on the front legs posture? does it not provide more insight on whether the legs were directly under the body or more bow-legged (don't know the correct word)
No studies have been done on this specimen yet.
Ironically the only governments in the United States that retain ownership (or at least rights to the issuance of permits) of fossils found on private land are tribal governments ignoring for a moment the problematic nature of federal trusteeship over (some)tribal lands this at least to me highlights the intersection between indigenous (communal) land rights and the safekeeping of the fossil record.
btw if anyone knows any examples of states(or I suppose also sub state entities so empowered) getting involved in fossil collecting on private property please let me know I would love to learn more.
Go ahead. Get political. PLEASE.
?
I have had the privilege of seeing Horridus at the Melbourne museum. It truly is a big chonker.
Pretty upset about this fossil as well as Tristan (T. rex displayed in Berlin) because these were both found from my home county in Montana. Both of these skeletons are part of our region's geological heratige but will never be able to be appreciated by the locals or have any benefit from them leaving the country. These commercial groups do little benefit to the local communities they work in while they and forgiegn museums profit greatly from essentially looting that community. It was the business of the rancher to sell these specimens but these kind of events usually just negatively impact small communities and I am disappointed I will likely never see these fossils or have my community recieve any appreciation from these foreign institutions.
While I do like other countries can get to see what we had in the USA, I argue that the only people who should be allowed to do this stuff are certified scientists associated with a university and/or museum. I hate that capitalism infects paleontology, it feels like grave robbing.
Saw this at the Melbourne museum on Saturday just gone. It is an amazing display and stunning to stand next to. I cant wait to see what could be gleaned from future studies on it.
In the case of fossils, since they have extremely high science value, I think they should belong to the state and all fossils should be used to help understand more of about them and the species of the past.
Beautiful specimen, terrible nick name 😂
I love going to Dino Lab Inc! They do tours there, and they had a Ceratopsian there they were working on with the nickname Dozer a few years ago that was super cool to see!
This is another good find
How am i here so early
Mr. Man is typecasted. He has such range and gets stuck walking next to the most terrifying beasts of all time with no appreciation!
yea its a reminder of the riches that can still be found in the world's geo record, and the importance of careful excavation techniques in revealing the mysteries of the past.
I have a question who is bigger triceratops horridus or triceratops porosus
Oh hey I saw this specimen earlier this year. Was really surprised to just stumbled across a nearly complete triceratops here in Australia after having to travel overseas just two months prior to see a T. rex.
And having seen it in person, I feel like the mr man comparison doesnt do justice to just how big it is. Noy saying its inaccurate, it just doesnt give the same impression
Before Horridus, the exhibit that used to be there was a giant hall filled with stuffed animals from all corners of the globe
How old was it?
What a privilege it would be to see many of the Dino’s we grew up thinking about just walking about on an island where they could be studied and be just mind blown by with their unique appearances and no Jurassic Park/World kinda thing. Humans to a minimum 💯💯
