Archeologists Unearth Fossils of T-rex and Triceratops Locked in Battle in Montana

The fossils were moved to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and the museum announced on Nov. 17 that they plan to display the bones in the aptly named exhibit “Dueling Dinosaurs.”
In a press statement, the museum announced that the specimens will remain encased in sediment from the Montana hillside where they were discovered until paleontologists can safely remove the fossils from the sediment.
