Triceratops Skull Found In North Dakota Badlands -- July 25, 2019


From the article:
A California college student majoring in biology just found something rare and special. In the badlands of North Dakota the fifth-year student from the University of California, Merced found the 65-million-year-old fossil of a partial Triceratops skull among plant fossils from the Cretaceous period.
USA Today reported that the dino skull was found in the Hell's Creek formation, which spans Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, where dinosaurs roamed anywhere from 100.5 to 23 million years ago.
Duran found the fossil with "experienced excavator" Michael Kjelland, a biology professor at Mayville State University in North Dakota.
This is pretty exciting.

See this post for dinosaur discoveries in the Bakken. It should be noted that this might be the first major Triceratops find in this area.
