Description [link]

This is the life sized fiberglass statue of a Triceratops that stands in front of the Dakota Dinosaur Museum in Dickinson, ND. Because it retains the exoccipital bones around the margins of its frill it represents a young buck not yet mature. The DDM contains a prize quality Triceratops skull that was discovered just 20' below the K/T boundary in North Dakota. That makes the specimen the youngest known T. horridus skull.

I like how it has the angry facial expression of a bird or tortoise.
