[Bill Mullins]

Unfortunately, the metadata from Newspapers.com on Fred's 1889 cite below is wrong.  The actual date of the cite, from the page image, is Jan 29 1896.



1889 O. C. Marsh "Notice of Gigantic Horned Dinosauria from the Cretaceous" in The American Journal of Science, Series 3, Vol 38, No. 224 Aug. 174

It represents a genus distinct from the type of the family, which may be called Triceratops.
