Though I suppose God put it there to throw off the 6000 year creationists.
Well that will blow your construction schedule all too hell.
Been messing with one lately. Takes a few sessions to dial one in. Almost there.
The sport was in shooting a mature specimen with a ceratopsid arquebus of .50cal or larger. It often took several hits by a party of hunters to bring one down. The difficulty in a quick kill was in reaching their tiny brains or other vital organ. But the collapse of the species was due to gatherers raiding the their ground-level nests for eggs.
Oh, and it was the Conquistadores and the following Spanish settlers that critically reduced the North American Triceratops. When this occurred, North American bison filled the niche held by the Triceratops. When our nation’s pioneers fanned out West, they depleted the bison and wiped out the remaining dinosaurs.
Cowboys and dinosaurs! Now that's from the days when Hollywood made MOVIES!

Triceratops existed in an amazing variety of horns and skull “frills”.
A lot of twits on Twitter and Facebook thought it was true.
Of course, it might have been, had this been taken in the Valley of Gwangi (mentioned earlier,) but that was a desert environment, not a jungle.
