It preserves a Protoceratops andrewsi (a ceratopsian dinosaur) and Velociraptor mongoliensis (a dromaeosaurid dinosaur) trapped in combat between 75 million and 71 million years ago and provides direct evidence of predatory or agonistic behaviour in non-avian dinosaurs. The specimen has caused much debate as to how both animals came to be ...
Velociraptor (/ v ə ˌ l ɒ s ɪ ˈ r æ p t ər, v ə ˈ l ɒ s ɪ r æ p t ər /; [1] lit.

Two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past.
Triceratops (/ t r aɪ ˈ s ɛr ə t ɒ p s / try-SERR-ə-tops; [1] lit. ' three-horned face ') is a genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago in what is now western North America.
It is the largest known Triceratops skeleton, according to the team that assembled the fossil. Big John's 2021 auction price of € 6.6 million ( US$ 7.7 million) made it the most expensive Triceratops skeleton; its high price signaled increasing demand for dinosaur fossils among private collectors and prompted discussion about the drawbacks of ...
It consists of the fossilized skeletons of a tyrannosaur (generally considered a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex) and a Triceratops horridus entangled with one another and entombed in sandstone. This is quite similar to the Fighting Dinosaurs , a 74-million-year-old specimen found Mongolia in 1971, in which a Velociraptor and Protoceratops were ...
Lastly, he restored the course of the fight with the Protoceratops power-slamming the Velociraptor, which used its feet claws to damage the throat and belly regions and its hand claws to grasp the herbivore's head. Before their burial, the deathmatch ended up on the ground with the Velociraptor lying on its back right under the Protoceratops.
Named partly for the Norse god of mischief, Lokiceratops rangiformis was a cousin of Triceratops and lived in a swampy environment alongside other horned dinosaur species about 78 million years ago.
