I remember there was a book series, "Learn ______ in 24 hours!" but it meant one hour a night for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted May 17, 2012 Fun Fact: the Minnesota Science Museum has the largest mounted Triceratops in the world, one of only four such specimens. I saw it many times growing up and it is indeed large, bigger than a rhinoceros, approaching elephant size. Oddest detail... a plaque commemorating a visit by German composer Richard Wagner's granddaughter in the 1960's to dedicate it. "Endlich ein Ring für Fafner" it says. Science Museum of Minnesota by jbenson2, on Flickr That's quite a beak those things had. I wonder what they were eating that needed that? The front leg is articulated a lot lower on the body than i would have guessed but the rear leg goes almost to the top. I wonder how anyone knew how to put a Triceratops together the first time they found one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oooo..He/she is very lovely! I particularly fancy the Purple Barney-licious looking one, but with perhaps some cadmium yellow-jello colored polka dots scattered hither and yon. I wonder how anyone knew how to put a Triceratops together the first time they found one? They lied, that's how! Triceratops no Slouch. New forelimb study reveals And then there was that nasty business "is it really a Triceratops or a juvenile Torosaurus?" Oh yes. Those were dark days indeed way back in 2010. I suspect the real question has yet to be asked: What did Tri-toro-saucy-raptor's feathers look like...and could it fly? Ok. Maybe those questions are only being whispered behind closed doors. Trini Lopezeraptorasaurus shall make a very fun TAOA:M modeling lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I wonder how anyone knew how to put a Triceratops together the first time they found one? They cheated by looking at the photo on the cover of the box. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought of when I saw your triceratops head. The box art on all the old Aurora monster and dinosaur kits was really awesome.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think I'll need to study dinosaur leg anatomy a bit more to get this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
