I was hoping for full pics of the dino but got a picture of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II

Yeah, I was annoyed at the same thing. 14 pictures in Ads, but only 1 crappy picture of the subject of the article. Also... No course credit? Robbery!

The odds of there being a photo in these kind of articles seems exactly inversely proportional to how cool the subject is.

A Google Image search for "triceratops Grand River National Grassland" turned up a bunch of images.

A fossil's a fossil.

The article on the college's website has a few pictures: https://news.wcmo.edu/campus-life/westminster-college-undergraduate-researchers-discover-triceratops-during-annual-dig-2/ https://news.wcmo.edu/campus-life/westminster-college-underg...

  This is a better link. I wonder what the bones weighed prior to being fossilized. Also wondering if this is a 'typical' specimen or not. That said, the college having a program to collect fossils for undergrads to work on really rocks. (no pun intended) There really isn't anything that can replace hands on experience for these kinds of things.

    Agreed, seeing those pics of the kids standing next to the fossil warmed my heart. We need more hands on science. One thing I always thought would be cool would be to take say the 100 most famous experiments -- from Galileo rolling balls down an incline to Hertz measuring the strength of an electromagnetic fields based on the number of footsteps from the center, and do them in an afterschool program or homeschool program. Lots of kids would enroll, and it would be quite a bit of fun. FYI, Amazon is selling the connections DVD series for 20 bucks now -- Burke covers a lot of the great experiments. https://www.amazon.com/Connections-The-Complete-Series-DVD/dp/B01J69KSMA https://www.amazon.com/Connections-The-Complete-Series-DVD/d...
