The original version of this Article contained errors, where the place of discovery of Triceratops horridus, known as Big John, was incorrectly stated as ‘Hell Creek Formation (Upper Cretaceous; MT, USA).’


As a result, in the Abstract,


“Here, we present the case of the Triceratops horridus known as Big John, which is one of the largest specimens discovered in the Hell Creek Formation (Upper Cretaceous; MT, USA).”


now reads:


“Here, we present the case of the Triceratops horridus known as Big John, which is one of the largest specimens discovered in the Hell Creek Formation (Upper Cretaceous; South Dakota, USA).”


Additionally, in the third paragraph of the Introduction,


“The specimen of Triceratops horridus known as Big John (due to its large size) was discovered in 2014 in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation (MT, USA), from where numerous remains of Ceratopsidae (Chasmosaurinae) have been recovered4–6 (see Supplementary Information).”
