YOU WERE THERE. SEE THE FULL
INTERVIEW WITH BILLY BUSH
TONIGHT ON THE LATE SHOW WITH
STEPHEN COLBERT.> THE DENVER
MUSEUM OF NATURE AND SCIENCE
HOSTED A BIG EVENT TONIGHT.
OUR BEHIND THE SCENES WOMAN OF
THE DISCOVERY ON THORTON
TRICERATOPS IN IMAX.
TORTOLITA'S FROM THE
CONSTRUCTION CREWS FOUND THE
DINOSAUR JOINED MUSEUM STAFF
AND VOLUNTEERS.
OUR STAN BUSH REVEALS IT ALL
ENDED WITH A BIG TWIST.
Reporter: PALEONTOLOGISTS SAID
SOMETHING WAS NOT QUITE RIGHT
AS THEY UNCOVER DINOSAUR BONES
LEAVED TO BE TRICERATOPS AND
THORTON.
THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS
UNTIL THEY WERE IN THE LAB ON A
DAY IN LATE NOVEMBER.
A FEW HOURS LATER, I
REALIZED WE HAD A PERFECT
WINDOW. THE DINOSAUR IS
ACTUALLY A TORAH FOR, A DISTANT
COUSIN OF TRICERATOPS.
BOTH WERE ROUGHLY THE SAME
SIZE.
THE DIFFERENCE IS A
CONSIDERABLY LARGER SHIELD ON
THE HEAD.
DO YOU THINK PEOPLE MAY HAVE
UNCOVERED THESE DINOSAURS
BEFORE AND JUST THOUGHT THEY
WERE MISSING THIS SECTION?
YES.
IF YOU WERE TO ONLY FIND THE
FACE, YOU WOULD CALL IT A
TRICERATOPS. Reporter: FOR
SCIENCE, THIS IS A MUCH MORE
SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY.
THOUSANDS OF TRICERATOPS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN FOUND ACROSS THE
GLOBE.
THERE ARE ONLY SEVEN OR EIGHT
NEW ORLEANS -- KNOWN SKELETONS
AND NONE ON THIS CONTINENT ARE
NEARLY AS COMPLETE AS THE FIND
AND THORTON. THIS IS
HISTORIC.
THIS IS THE FIRST DEFINITIVE
ONE FROM COLORADO.
THIS IS ONE OF ONLY A HANDFUL
OF SCHOOLS KNOWN.
IT IS THE MOST COMPLETE
INDIVIDUAL TOROSAURUS NEVER
DISCOVERED.
IN DENVER, STAN BUSH, COVERING
COLORADO FIRST.
WE WILL TAKE YOU ALONG TO
THIS AMAZING STORY OF JUST HOW
PALEONTOLOGISTS TURN SUSPICION
