Triceratops is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs of all time—but how much of what we think we know actually comes from fossils, and how much comes from Hollywood?

In this episode of Diggin’ Up Dinos, host Brad digs into the real Triceratops, separating movie myths from fossil evidence. We explore its massive horns and iconic frill, self-sharpening teeth, skin and scales, diet, behavior, herd structure, and the environment it lived in during the Late Cretaceous.

From its encounters with Tyrannosaurus to the famous Jurassic Park portrayal, this episode takes a deep dive into what Triceratops was really like—and why the real animal is even more impressive than the movie version.

Thanks for listening, and remember: the fossils always tell a better story.

Jurassic Park showed us the terror of Velociraptors—but just how accurate is what I remember?

In the very first episode of Diggin' Up Dinos, Brad digs into the science that separates the myths from the facts in the case of the Velociraptor and recreates the discovery that led to understanding the many features that were not as depicted in the movie creature but rather as they were in reality, including size, intelligence, and its feeding features.

New episodes are posted on Saturdays.
