1887’de George Cannon ad\u0131nda bir lise \u00f6\u011fretmeni, Colorado’da iki b\u00fcy\u00fck boynuz ve bir kafatas\u0131 \u00e7at\u0131s\u0131n\u0131n bir par\u00e7as\u0131n\u0131 ke\u015ffetti. Bu fosilleri, Yale \u00dcniversitesi’nde \u00fcnl\u00fc bir paleontolog olan Othniel Charles Marsh’a g\u00f6nderdi. Marsh ba\u015flang\u0131\u00e7ta boynuzlar\u0131n dev bir bizona ait oldu\u011funa inand\u0131 ve yarat\u0131\u011fa “Bison alticornis” ad\u0131n\u0131 verdi.<\/p>\n\n
Bununla birlikte, Marsh’\u0131n fosillerin do\u011fas\u0131 hakk\u0131ndaki g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fleri k\u0131sa s\u00fcrede de\u011fi\u015fti. 1888’de, kendisine g\u00f6nderilen daha k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck boynuzlara dayanarak benzer bir dinozora “Ceratops” ad\u0131n\u0131 verdi. Marsh ba\u015flang\u0131\u00e7ta bu boynuzlar\u0131n Stegosaurus’takiler gibi sivri u\u00e7lar oldu\u011funu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordu.<\/p>\n\n
Triceratops horridus’un k\u0131smi kafatas\u0131 da dahil olmak \u00fczere boynuzlu dinozor fosillerinin daha fazla ke\u015ffi, Marsh’\u0131 sonu\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131 g\u00f6zden ge\u00e7irmeye y\u00f6neltti. Uzun, sivri yap\u0131lar\u0131n, daha \u00f6nce tan\u0131nmayan bir dinozor grubuna \u00f6zg\u00fc boynuzlar oldu\u011funu fark etti.<\/p>\n\n
Marsh’\u0131n ilk hatas\u0131, yeni t\u00fcrleri belirlemede kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131rmal\u0131 anatominin \u00f6nemini vurgulamaktad\u0131r. Triceratops boynuzlar\u0131n\u0131 bilinen hayvanlar\u0131n boynuzlar\u0131yla kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131rarak Marsh, olas\u0131l\u0131k yelpazesini daraltabilmi\u015ftir. Bununla birlikte, Triceratops’un ger\u00e7ek do\u011fas\u0131n\u0131n ortaya \u00e7\u0131kmas\u0131 ancak daha eksiksiz \u00f6rneklerin ke\u015ffiyle m\u00fcmk\u00fcn olmu\u015ftur.<\/p>\n\n
Marsh ba\u015flang\u0131\u00e7ta Triceratops’u bir bizonla kar\u0131\u015ft\u0131rsa da, iki hayvan aras\u0131nda baz\u0131 anatomik benzerlikler vard\u0131r. Hem Triceratops hem de bizonlar\u0131n kafatas\u0131 \u00e7at\u0131s\u0131na ba\u011fl\u0131 boynuzlar\u0131 vard\u0131r. Bununla birlikte, Triceratops’un boynuzlar\u0131 bizonunkilerden \u00e7ok daha b\u00fcy\u00fck ve sa\u011flamd\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n
Marsh’\u0131n hatalar\u0131, 19. y\u00fczy\u0131l\u0131n sonlar\u0131nda dinozorlar hakk\u0131ndaki s\u0131n\u0131rl\u0131 bilgiyi de yans\u0131tmaktad\u0131r. Hi\u00e7 kimse hen\u00fcz tam bir ceratopsi dinozoru g\u00f6rmemi\u015fti ve Marsh’\u0131n \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmas\u0131 gereken sadece birka\u00e7 par\u00e7al\u0131 fosil vard\u0131.
