AUTHOR'S NOTE
Too bad for us, time machines aren’t real. But all of the details about Triceratops in this book
are based on research by scientists who study fossils. For example, in 2015 scientists studied
Triceratops teeth. They realized that the teeth got sharper and sharper as Triceratops
chewed, until the teeth were as sharp as knives. So this plant-eater could eat plants other
dinosaurs couldn’t chew! New dinosaur discoveries are made every year. Look up the books and
websites below to learn more.
