Triceratops, the plant-eating dinosaur with three horns on its head, was long considered a
single animal. Fossils for more than fifty adult triceratops have been found, and each triceratops
was found with no othei triceratops nearby. Scientists revised their theory
o f the lone triceratops
in 2005, though. In southeastern Montana, they discovered a site that contained triceratops
fossils embedded in rocks that were
66
million years old. At the Homer site, paleontologists, or
scientists
who study fossils, found a group o f three young triceratops fossils. It was evident to the
paleontologists that the fossils were not found together by chance. The scientists deduced that the
^
bodies of the young dinosaurs had been deposited by a flood and that they were part of a herd
of young triceratops that lived together. Paleontologists admit they don’t know how much time
the young triceratops spent together, or even why they were in a group.
The scientists believe the
animals might have banded together for protection. They expect to find still more fossils o f young
triceratops at the Homer site.
