Neat story happened last week when construction workers in Denver happened upon a Triceratops skeleton. They've already extracted some of it and are examining it and taking care of it at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Rather than try to explain it, I'll let the articles do the explaining.

Here's what they've found so far:
"The collection includes two brow bones, a lower jaw beak, parts of the frill (the shield behind the dinosaur’s head), shoulder bones, vertebrae and ribs. As of Thursday afternoon, arms and legs had not been found, according to Denver Museum of Nature and Science curator of dinosaurs Joe Sertich."
