Triceratops Gigantic Trackers

Triceratops is the most famous horned dinosaur of all, yet its first horns were mistaken for those of a giant bison. Mattel made it one of the first Gigantic Trackers in Jurassic World Epic Evolution, a big, pale grey figure with a white frill and horns and a charging attack. Here is what the figure looks like, the story of the bison mix-up, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Mistaken Identity: The Bison Horns

The first Triceratops fossil did not get a dinosaur name at all.

Case fileBison alticornisTriceratops horridus
First horns: 1887Named as: Bison alticornis, a giant bisonBy: Othniel MarshCorrected: 1889, as Triceratops
In 1887 a pair of large horn cores from Colorado reached Othniel Marsh, who thought they came from an extinct giant bison. Two years later, after a full skull was found, he realised they belonged to a horned dinosaur.

He named it Triceratops, three-horned face, and it has been a favourite ever since.

About Triceratops

Triceratops was named in 1889 by Othniel Charles Marsh. The name means three-horned face.

It lived at the very end of the Cretaceous, about 68 to 66 million years ago, in western North America. It was about 8 to 9 m long and weighed around 6 to 12 tonnes.

Triceratops was one of the last non-bird dinosaurs, living alongside T. rex until the asteroid impact.
