【名稱】三角龍化石

【類別】雜項
三 角 龍（屬名：Triceratops）鳥臀目角龍下目角龍科的草食性恐龍的一屬，化石發現于北美洲的晚白堊紀晚馬斯特里赫特階地層，約6800萬年前到6500萬年前。三角龍是最晚出現的恐龍之一，經常被作為晚白堊紀的代表化石。目前已有兩個有效種：褶皺三角龍、究竟三角龍，但還有其他屬被命名。三角龍也是最著名的恐龍之一，也是在通俗文化中非常受歡迎的恐龍。
恐龍化石值多少錢？在拍賣市場上，最珍貴的恐龍骨骼化石曾以1000萬美元的天價拍賣，該化石中保存著兩只恐龍的“致命搏斗”?；斜４嬷?.68億年前矮暴龍和三角龍的骨骼，顯示兩者均嚴重受傷最終同歸于盡。令科學家驚異的是，食肉性矮暴龍的一些鋒利牙齒嵌入三角龍的頭部之中，而矮暴龍的頭骨和胸腔骨骼被食草恐龍三角龍壓碎。
據收藏界資深人士介紹，眼下全球刮起了一股化石收藏風，尤其恐龍化石更是為藏家所青睞。微軟前行政總裁內森·梅爾沃德就是一名恐龍骨收藏家，一只暴龍頭骨就掛在他的辦公室。而比爾·蓋茨據說也是恐龍骨收藏愛好者。
去年，在法國巴黎的埃菲爾鐵塔下，一場別開生面的拍賣會引人注目。被拍賣的不是任何一位藝術家的作品，而是大自然經過億萬年的進化產生的杰作——某種新型異特龍的一副近乎完整的骨架化石。最終，這件拍品以200萬歐元成交。這一高價無疑體現了人們對恐龍化石的鐘愛之情。
遠古生物的骨架大多難以保存下來。它們首先肯定死在有水的地方，并迅速被泥沙覆蓋，才能躲過食腐動物的破壞。其次，它們所處的地層不能在此后漫長的歲月中被毀，更不能沉入地幔。最后，它們還要在暴露于地表之后盡快被發現，避免被風化的命運。這樣看來，每一塊化石都是一系列巧合疊加在一起的奇跡，自然價值不菲。
然而，科學家們對于恐龍的熱情或許與大眾不同。從進化的角度來講，雖然人類與恐龍沒有直接的繼承關系，但兩者之間的確有著深刻的因果關聯，人類的崛起從一些奇妙的角度得益于恐龍的“幫助”。
對恐龍的研究還向我們展示了地球生命更多的可能性。原來，食肉動物也能走巨無霸的進化之路，并不都需要有敏捷的身形才能捕捉獵物。
最為重要的是，恐龍已經滅絕了。對于一類滅絕生物的系統性研究，能夠告訴我們導致其滅絕的原因，并讓我們意識到，在地球上，再強大、再繁榮的生物也有可能走向終結。
此化石極其具有收藏價值及科研價值。
A herbivorous dinosaur of the family Triceratops, found in the Late Cretaceous Late Maastricht Formation of North America, about 68 million to 65 million years ago. Triceratosaurus was one of the latest dinosaurs and was often regarded as the representative fossil of the Late Cretaceous. At present, there are two effective species: Pleated Triceratops and Exactly Triceratops, but other genera have been named. Triceratosaurus was also one of the most famous dinosaurs and was very popular in popular culture.
How much are dinosaur fossils worth? In the auction market, the most precious dinosaur skeleton fossil was auctioned at a sky-high price of 10 million US dollars. The fossil contained two dinosaurs'lethal struggle. The bones of Tyrannosaurus dwarf and Triceratosaurus, which were preserved in the fossils about 168 million years ago, show that both were seriously injured and eventually died. To scientists'surprise, some of the sharp teeth of the carnivorous dwarf Tyrannosaurus were embedded in the head of the Triceratosaurus, while the skull and chest bones of the dwarf Tyrannosaurus were crushed by the herbivorous dinosaur Triceratosaurus.
According to senior collectors, there is a trend of fossil collection all over the world, especially dinosaur fossils. Nathan Melvard, former CEO of Microsoft, is a dinosaur bone collector. A Tyrannosaurus skull hangs in his office. Bill Gates is also said to be a dinosaur bone collector.
Last year, under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, an unusual auction drew attention. It was not the work of any artist that was auctioned, but a masterpiece of nature, a nearly complete skeleton fossil of a new type of special dragon, which had evolved over billions of years. Ultimately, it was sold for 2 million euros. This high price undoubtedly reflects people's love for dinosaur fossils.
Most of the skeletons of ancient creatures are difficult to preserve. They must first die in water and quickly be covered with sand to escape the destruction of scavengers. Secondly, the strata they are in cannot be destroyed in the long years to come, let alone sink into the mantle. Finally, they should be discovered as soon as possible after being exposed to the surface, so as to avoid the fate of being weathered. In this way, each fossil is a series of coincidence superimposed miracles, natural value is not bad.
However, scientists may have a different passion for dinosaurs. From an evolutionary point of view, although there is no direct inheritance relationship between human beings and dinosaurs, there is a deep causal relationship between them. The rise of human beings benefits from the "help" of dinosaurs from some wonderful angles.
Studies of dinosaurs also show us more possibilities for life on Earth. It turns out that predators can also take the evolutionary path of Big Mac, and they don't need to be agile to catch prey.
Most importantly, dinosaurs are extinct. Systematic studies of a class of extinct organisms can tell us the causes of their extinction, and make us realize that on Earth, even stronger and more prosperous organisms may come to an end.
This fossil is of great collection value and scientific research value.
