FIVE TRICERATOPS Why were five Triceratops fossils found so close together? Help discover the reasons behind this unique and puzzling find. Were these plant-eating Triceratops the victim of a T-Rex feeding frenzy?
You will be the first human to hold something that has remained hidden for 67,000,000 years – a lifetime memory and something only very few people have ever had the privilege to do. You can be part of that unique experience yourself by joining our team of scientists for a couple of days. At a secret site, scientists are currently working on the incredible discovery of five Triceratops skeletons. The first skeleton is already on display in a new dinosaur gallery, while the remaining skeletons are being carefully retrieved from the surrounding rock. As a part of the team, you’ll get to camp out in the field, assist with uncovering the bones and participate in daily briefings and discussions. And, you will have helped further mankind’s understanding of a long-extinct species.
