Common

The commonest large dinosaur in Hell Creek — in some field surveys, close to 40% of all dinosaur skeletons found. Its skull could reach 2.5 metres, with brow horns over a metre long, and its jaws held hundreds of teeth stacked in replaceable columns. When the first horns were found in 1887, they were mistaken for a giant bison. Record the specimen for 8 coins.

Three horns, one temper. I keep to the ferns when the big ones pass.
