The Story of Triceratops

[@dukecity7688]

This was wicked good. A gem. I day dream about them walking around. Thank You very much. 🌟

[@yee7963]

I major in geology in South Korea. I want to be paleontologist from when i was young. I really appreciate to you because i can keep learning when i was soldier and keep my dream. I really thank to you again. Have a good day! :)

[@joaoloureiro3294]

Hope you follow your dreams, mate! I also want to go to college, major in geology and study paleontology, mainly in patagonia in Argentina.

[@mdanikshihab7950]

I have the same dream. greetings from india

[@QUIRK1019]

I love that you go into minute scientific details. I'd rather have an info-packed video I might need to watch twice to ingest it all, than a simplified overview that gives me nothing I can't learn from googling "triceratops"

[@GlassDragon21]

The classes you teach look like they could be so interesting! So glad to have found you.

[@vermicelledecheval5219]

In depth analysis not so common in YT. Thanks a lot for your time 😁

[@walterfechter8080]

Thanks, Benjamin, for this in-depth history of the discovery of my favorite dinosaur.

[@AlexVanEks]

I get so excited when you post a new video! Never a disappointment! I love and appreciate all the details and in depth information and history. Definitely a better choice for entertainment than most videos out there.

[@athanasioskatsikas6942]

Nothing to ask. I am here just to raise the comments count. Thank you for the video

[@JV-fj7of]

I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Thank you.

[@marksherrill9337]

Wow, that was well done. Thank you for being professional. I’m especially impressed the horns could be larger than the bone root\core.

[@kennethr2906]

I am fascinated by your lectures. I no longer watch TV, just Dr. Benjamin Burger lectures!

[@Anthropomorph0]

Interesting, well explained and cozy narration. Thanks!

[@Laserblade]

Excellent lecture professor, thank you.

[@mdanikshihab7950]

i really love your lectures . i hear them while doing my homework

[@nasa1954]

You are an excellent teacher!

[@fullup91]

I missed your video's. Glad you're well

[@Yayojayoful]

KZbin isn't letting me "ring the bell icon". I don't get it! I missed some of your videos, what a shame. Catching up now, this was a great one.

[@iknowyouwanttofly]

I love videos that conects dinosaurs to some other history that makes it esier for me to remember :D

[@grose2272]

I've difficulty imagining what shape their eggs would have been, but thats an impressive collection ❤including the babies.

[@Subfightr]

Wooo I'm so excited to hear this. Thank you! Can you do one on the Pterosaurs? Please and thaaaank youuuu

[@BenjaminBurgerScience]

I need some more pterosaur videos for sure....

[@Subfightr]

@@BenjaminBurgerScience the world needs more Pterosaur videos

[@normblais5120]

That would be great 👍🏼

[@gabrielmagister6072]

Magnificent video! Thank you.

[@calebsmith2362]

It’s good to see you back!

[@seiridgleason8251]

This is a really cool and helpful channel. Thank you

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Very interesting , when I’m over your way I like to look for fossils ,mainly paradox valley area , you have a good way of explaining this history , be great to come on one of your field trips , Chriss Rotorua New Zealand

[@laurachapple6795]

John Bell Hatcher looks like he should be a character on 'The Office'.

[@ardalaamor8311]

WOW thanks for this amazing video!

[@markheller76]

Many bitter enemies amongst diggers even back then. But hey how about a top hat day at the NY Museum of Natural History. All paleontologist wear top hats and chomp on cigars. Seriously... just discovered your work and oh boy what a find. I have my one paleo course so I know nothing but enjoy poking around in the Utah summers now and then. I’m subscribing.

[@madedgar]

Benjamin, you just made our (one of the few times I will speak for others) day, thanks very much!

[@stonksrgud7645]

that bison spine looks awfully like a spinosaurus thrill 16:44 also whoever drew that shoudlve taken some drawing lessons

[@sabbiosaurus101]

my dream is to be a paleontologist.. Sadly i live in a state were all there have really found recently are Mammoths, and Smilodons (Sabre Cats), and TONS of Megalodon teeth! I've heard of them finding Allosaurus, and Deinonychus. Its fairly rare to find Dinosaurs here.

[@joesSONICBOOM]

The only thing that I am wondering is that can Triceratops grow back their horns when they get snapped off from either a T.Rex attack or two males fighting for mating rights?

[@BenjaminBurgerScience]

Since they are horns rather than antlers they will be broken permanently. The keratin sheath can be re-grown, and bone can heal over time. Here are a couple papers on the topics: www.uv.es/~pardomv/pe/2004_1/horn/horn.pdf www.google.com/books/edition/New_Perspectives_on_Horned_Dinosaurs/OWpQW_WhPAsC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=ceratopsian+dinosaur+horn+damage+injury&pg=PA355&printsec=frontcover

[@joesSONICBOOM]

@@BenjaminBurgerScience Thanks mate, I'll give it a read :)

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Fantastic presentation.😎👍🏻 Always was and always will be my most favorite dinosaur. If I was tossed back in time and had to survive back then you bet I'm trapping and domesticating a baby Triceratops for protection and a ride.😊

[@charlesdu84]

Thank you! Your doing an amazing job!

[@thehigherevolutionary]

We miss seeing you on KZbin... but we know you're busy. Great video.

[@dross2871]

Now i need a copy of The Ceratopsia! Where would i be able to buy one?

[@charliecrain1830]

Love this so much 🤍

[@evidentsavant12]

Love your videos. Where in the world can I find an original copy of The Ceratopsia by John Bell Hatcher, 1907? I bought a reproduction from ebay and it is nice but pales in comparison to the original. I would to have this book in my Dinosaur book collection. Thank you and keep bone hunting.

[@TaterChip91]

Hello Ben, first off I want to say that I love the channel, love the content. I've binge watched most all your videos since I've discovered your channel, especially the rocks of Utah and the Allosaurus in particular. And I've been wanting to ask something for a while... I believe I've found a big "glob" of stromatolite fossils in the mountains just south east of Huntsville UT a few miles. I spotted it last year and only recently realized what it could be. I've compared it to a bunch of photos and there seems to be a lot of similar features. My question is, can you tell me what I can do to figure out exactly what it is? Is there someone I can get in contact with? Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

[@BenjaminBurgerScience]

Send me some pictures via email at benjamin.burger at usu.edu, I would be happy to look at them. There is also a great geology department at Weber State in Ogden, they would be able to identify for you as well. We team up with them often for our field camps, or make the drive north to Logan to Utah State. There are a lot Paleozoic Limestones in that region.

[@reptileschool7777]

You videos are really interesting 🔥 and love to know about reptiles. I request you that please make video on origin of Reptiles and another of type of Reptiles are lived on earth....... Please........

[@lawrencet83]

Please make more videos!!!

[@philipgior3312]

very nice summary of the ceratopsians, I learned quite a lot. Thanks

[@MrJonnyPepper]

But don't pronghorns shed part of their horn? Does that horn have part of the shed part?

[@nikoryus]

Is better make videos about dinosaurs in czech language or english language?

[@coreofnothing]

yay a new upload!

[@nikoryus]

Do you have your own book about paleontology?

[@timcross2510]

The cerastopcian types moved like giant rabbits. ! Back legs pivoting together with weight center shifted to front legs rear legs are OUTSIDE of front legs at maximum reach even at low speeds. Proper look at the joints shows this.

[@timcross2510]

I'm giving this to you first. Run with it

[@1joshjosh1]

Stop messing about, pack your bags, and have a trip to Drumheller Alberta. You will love it folks. 🐊

[@olehsamko6989]

In Lecture 80, you forgot to talk about another group of predatory mammals. About marsupial predators. These are very interesting animals. Don't you think so? And why did you turn off comments?

[@NoOne-yt6yf]

What are the suspected drivers of ceratopsian morphology?

[@jsfbr]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@powpuck5031]

Could the diversity of ceratopsians be in part due to niche partitioning?

[@kevinnorwood8782]

POWPUCK !!! It could be that, but it could also be defense experimentation. This is just my personal theory, but the fact is that for literally every genus of Ceratopsian, there is a genus of Tyrannosaurid living in the same environment. So I think they’re experimenting with different styles of frills and horns, while the Tyrannosaurids living alongside them are evolving stronger jaws and more robust teeth (as well as other traits and/or abilities) to defeat their respective Ceratopsians, and that blood feud continued right up till the end of the Cretaceous, where you have T-Rex and Triceratops themselves.

[@BenjaminBurgerScience]

It could be. The research of Elisabeth Vrba on Bovids, and ideas such as her Turnover-pulse hypothesis might explain the diversity. I should have done more reading into her work on diversification in horned mammals, because I think it also pertains to horned dinosaurs. The idea is that speciation is driven by allopatric speciation, with an enhanced level of species recognization as a result of the unique horns and frills of each population. There is also some biostratigraphic or temporal separation between groups.

[@peterg1978]

Surely deer antler is made of bo e ot keratin?

[@danielnagy1887]

Hey! :D As a paleontologist what do you think about that tyrannosaurus had lips or not?? :O there are many arguments for and against it.

[@thomaswu7373]
