Interesting hypothesis!
Here is their find
Here is a fossil bison horn circa 30,000 BC
Both are the same size, approx. 60 cm long x 25 cm diameter.
I wonder if Kevin will tell us how they did identify this as coming from a triceratops. All the paper has is this Quote | The length, girth and external morphology of the fossil was consistent with other Triceratops horns recovered from the Hell Creek Formation. Disarticulated Triceratopsr ibs(HCTR-11) and vertebrae(HCTV 22) found within a mile of the horn were also recovered for analysis. |
So it superficially looked like a triceratops horn and other pieces of triceratops were found within a mile. I'd think they would need a much better method of identification than that. |
If it looks designed, then it must be designed.
If it looks like a triceratops, then it must be a triceratops.
Because...
Geez, they're all alike. |
And even if it is a triceratops horn, there are some problems and unanswered questions in regard to the other claims about it.
