Sertich believes the crew uncovered parts of a skull and skeleton of a triceratops. He says itâs âone of only threeâ triceratops skulls ever found in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Most fossils found in the Front Range are about 10,000 to 12,000 years old, he said, but the bones discovered in Thornton appear to be much, much older. âThis dinosaur has been laying here for at least 66 million years,â Sertich said.
