It is known that dinosaur horns and its shoulder bones were found in the early stages of excavation.

Even the construction area where dinosaur skulls were found has been strictly protected by authorities because of the fear that these information might attract the attention of antiquity hunters. So, it is very difficult for anyone to steal the bones or horns of this rare ancient dinosaur.

According to information published at the Chicago Tribune, it is believed that most of the Triceratop dinosaurs weigh more than six tons, and stand about 3-9 meters high.

In addition, scientists believe that this herbivorous dinosaur moves slowly slowly, making it easy to prey on other carnivorous dinosaurs such as the giant Tyrannosaurus rex.
