In this video I talk about the horned and frilled dinosaur, Triceratops, from its discovery in the Old West, to lingering mysterious yet to be solved by future paleontologist. I hope you enjoy this video. It was a lot of fun to research.

yay a new upload!
Very interesting video, Thanks for Upload !!!
Yaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Hello Ben, first off I want to say that I love the channel, love the content. I've binge watched most all your videos since I've discovered your channel, especially the rocks of Utah and the Allosaurus in particular. And I've been wanting to ask something for a while…
I believe I've found a big "glob" of stromatolite fossils in the mountains just south east of Huntsville UT a few miles. I spotted it last year and only recently realized what it could be. I've compared it to a bunch of photos and there seems to be a lot of similar features.
My question is, can you tell me what I can do to figure out exactly what it is? Is there someone I can get in contact with? Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Could the diversity of ceratopsians be in part due to niche partitioning?
very nice summary of the ceratopsians, I learned quite a lot. Thanks
We miss seeing you on YouTube… but we know you're busy. Great video.
I major in geology in South Korea. I want to be paleontologist from when i was young. I really appreciate to you because i can keep learning when i was soldier and keep my dream.
I really thank to you again. Have a good day! 🙂
Youtube isn't letting me "ring the bell icon". I don't get it! I missed some of your videos, what a shame. Catching up now, this was a great one.
Wooo I'm so excited to hear this. Thank you! Can you do one on the Pterosaurs? Please and thaaaank youuuu
Second most famous non-avian dinosaur, only behind T-Rex.
It’s good to see you back!
I love that you go into minute scientific details. I'd rather have an info-packed video I might need to watch twice to ingest it all, than a simplified overview that gives me nothing I can't learn from googling "triceratops"
I get so excited when you post a new video! Never a disappointment! I love and appreciate all the details and in depth information and history. Definitely a better choice for entertainment than most videos out there.
Vertebrate Paleontology is awesome. It makes me think curiously about the archaic version of life. You know there was "discoveries decades ago"
on stunning organisims – the giant extinct Titanoboa snake and the other fossil familiar to it "Gigantophis" those are said to be the largest kinds of snakes existed. I never thought that there existed giant snakes before" looking for their fossils!
I missed your video's. Glad you're well
I have a request, you should do a video about the Great Oxygenation Event and the Big Five Mass Extinctions in chronological order:
1. Ordovician-Silurian Extinction (443 million years ago)
2. Late Devonian Extinction (370 million years ago)
3. Permian-Triassic Extinction/Great Dying (252 million years ago)
4. Triassic-Jurassic Extinction (201 million years ago)
5. Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction (65 million years ago)
Benjamin, you just made our (one of the few times I will speak for others) day, thanks very much!
It's now the town emblem of Drumheller Canada.
Dinosaur capital of the world.
You are an excellent teacher!
This is a really cool and helpful channel. Thank you
You should do a video about how therian mammals ditched the ability of laying eggs in favor of giving birth to live young.
These lectures make my day! What are your thoughts on the dueling dinosaurs recently acquired by the North Carolina museum of natural history? I feel like it would make for an interesting conversation on the private collection and selling of fossils
Hey! 😀 As a paleontologist what do you think about that tyrannosaurus had lips or not?? :O there are many arguments for and against it.
Nothing to ask. I am here just to raise the comments count. Thank you for the video
i really love your lectures . i hear them while doing my homework
You should do a video about why the Tertiary was split into the Paleogene and Neogene.
In Lecture 80, you forgot to talk about another group of predatory mammals. About marsupial predators. These are very interesting animals. Don't you think so? And why did you turn off comments?
my dream is to be a paleontologist.. Sadly i live in a state were all there have really found recently are Mammoths, and Smilodons (Sabre Cats), and TONS of Megalodon teeth! I've heard of them finding Allosaurus, and Deinonychus. Its fairly rare to find Dinosaurs here.
