"A stratigraphic survey of Triceratops localities in the Hell Creek Formation, northeastern Montana (2006–2010)", Through the End of the Cretaceous in the Type Locality of the Hell Creek Formation in Montana and Adjacent Areas, Gregory P. Wilson, William A. Clemens, John R. Horner, Joseph H. Hartman
Here we provide a survey of Triceratops localities and accompanying stratigraphic data from the Hell Creek Formation of northeastern Montana. The majority of the sites discussed here were relocated or discovered during the last 5 yr of the Hell Creek Project (1999–2010), a multi-institutional effort to record a large volume of faunal, floral, and geologic data on the Hell Creek Formation in order to test evolutionary, paleoecological, and geological hypotheses. Triceratops is the most abundant dinosaur in the Hell Creek Formation and one of the most common nonavian dinosaurs of the Upper Cretaceous. It is known from hundreds of specimens,...
