Title: Triceratops didn't really exist...what?
Post by: Jonathan on August 04, 2010, 01:58:50 AM
There's an interesting article in New Scientist (the July 30, 2010 issue) on how the Triceratops is not a species of dinosaur. Take a peek at Morphosaurs (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20727713.500-morphosaurs-how-shapeshifting-dinosaurs-deceived-us.html).

P.S. I only worded the subject as I did to use it as a hook to get people to read the article and see how people react.  I'm on the fence on this one.

Interesting article. I'm sure this theory will be scrutinized very heavily by experts in the field. Some of the data seems to add up though.

I think they're two species' which we should call Tricerotops and... Tricerotops. Animals in different locations vary greatly, even among the same species. I think that the location from which the different species were excavated is the most important factor. Just as an example, Iguanas from the Galapagos Islands can swim, which they don't do anywhere else (from my knowledge.)

I was speaking with my pal Jesus the other day and he told me that a buddy of his (God) thinks we should look for a living dinosaur and ask them...since the Earth is young and all.
