(MISSOURINET) – A Missouri college student has made a rare discovery during her first time going fossil hunting. Emma Puetz a junior at Missouri University of Science and Technology, found the crown of a triceratops head during field schooling in Montana over the summer. Puetz, who is from Rolla, says the fossil is about 66-million years old…
The remains will likely head to the Museum of the Rockies in Montana but there is a chance the fossil could be prepared at Missouri S&T.
