This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Titanoceratops

Originally found in 1941 by a crew consisting of J. Willis Stovall, his student Wann Langston Jr, and Donald E. Savage in the Kirtland Formation. Sadly the exact location is lost.

Found in fine-grain shale, it was originally thought to be too fragile for display.

In 1998 Thomas Lehman described the specimen as an overly large Pentaceratops.

In 2011 it was reclassified as part of Triceratopsini and renamed Titanoceratops ouranos
