Triceratops, the plant-eating dinosaur with three horns on its head, was long considered a

single animal. Fossils for more than fifty adult triceratops have been found, and each triceratops was found with no othei triceratops nearby. Scientists revised their theory o f the lone triceratops in 2005, though. In southeastern Montana, they discovered a site that contained triceratops fossils embedded in rocks that were 66 million years old. At the Homer site, paleontologists, or scientists who study fossils, found a group o f three young triceratops fossils. It was evident to the paleontologists that the fossils were not found together by chance. The scientists deduced that the bodies of the young dinosaurs had been deposited by a flood and that they were part of a herd of young triceratops that lived together. Paleontologists admit they don’t know how much time the young triceratops spent together, or even why they were in a group. The scientists believe the animals might have banded together for protection. They expect to find still more fossils o f young triceratops at the Homer site.
