He was the first Triceratops to be displayed in a museum. He symbolized the Smithsonian for generations. He provided a wealth of information about his species.

And now he's a delicious dinner for Tyrannosaurus rex. ;D

Well its good they updated it, that old mount was hideous, or should I say HORRIDUS! ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D . That was awful.

Very interesting story...Hatcher certainly has had a diverse career it's interesting to see just how much our knowledge of the creatures has changed in the last 100 years. It's also nice to see those old Charles Knight paintings again!
