John Scannella discusses paleontology, his work in the Hell Creek Project in Montana, and the evolution of the Triceratops.
John Scannella was born in Queens, New York and fell in love with dinosaurs at an early age. He received a bachelor's degree in Geological Sciences from Rutgers University and is completing a Ph.D. in the Department of Earth Sciences at Montana State University. Since 2006, he has been involved in the Hell Creek Project, a multi-institutional exploration of the end of the Age of Dinosaurs in Montana and surrounding areas, spearheaded by the Museum of the Rockies. John's research focuses on the growth and evolution of Triceratops and its relatives. In 2010, he and Jack Horner proposed that the horned dinosaur Torosaurus actually represents the mature growth stage of Triceratops. When John is not digging up new specimens of Triceratops in the field, he is studying the details of this dinosaur's anatomy at the Museum of the Rockies and other institutions. John is passionate about deciphering dinosaur evolution and sharing the excitement and importance of paleontology with the public.
