TL;DR Summary

A team from the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the Netherlands discovered a significant find of Triceratops fossils in Wyoming, with over 1,200 bones and bone fragments from at least five individuals. Research into the fossils revealed that these dinosaurs grew slowly and lived a migratory existence, suggesting complex social behavior. The details of the bonebed indicate that the five dinosaurs died together, possibly mired in a swamp. This discovery has led to new questions about the social behavior of these dinosaurs, and the findings will be showcased in an exhibition at the Naturalis museum.
